2023 Lenten Information
St. Paul will have a Penance Service on March 15 at 6:00pm in the church.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. Here is a refresher on Lenten Regulations on Fast and Abstinence along with our Lenten schedule!
Lenten Regulations on Fast and Abstinence
Abstinence from meat is observed on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all the Fridays of Lent by all Catholics 14 years of age and older.
All Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59 years of age observe fasting on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Those bound by this rule may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted as necessary to maintain strength according to one's needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted.
Lenten Schedule
On Fridays during Lent we will have the Stations of the Cross at 7:00 p.m.in the Church. Confessions will be heard during Stations. -
Lent is here and one of the best ways to prepare for the season of reflection and penance is to attend the Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation. Fr. Mike gives a great talk on Confession - we encourage you to watch the video below. And read the below article from the Denver Catholic for Confession 101.
