Lent runs from Ash Wednesday up to, but excluding, the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, March 28th.

Abstinence from meat on the Fridays of Lent (for those 14 and older) is required.



Good Friday is a fast day: Those between the ages of 18 and 59 should eat less, meaning, take no solid food between meals and only one full meal that day. During Lent, Catholics are to abstain from meat on Fridays as well. Serious health conditions excuse a person from these precepts.


During Lent, Catholics are to abstain from meat on Fridays as well.

Feasibility Study Summary

 Summary of the GM Feasibilty Study for St. Mary's

 The Diocese of Providence mourns the loss of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and we pray for the peaceful repose of his immortal soul.

  

 Throughout his life and ministry Pope Benedict served God and the Church with humility and generosity.  In following Jesus, the Good Shepherd, Pope Benedict was likewise a good and wise shepherd whose impact on the Church and the world will be long-lasting. Pope Benedict was world-class theologian who loved seeking and speaking the truth, and he taught the faith of the Church with the moral authority and doctrinal clarity so sorely needed today.

  

Pope Benedict, true to his name, was richly “blessed” by the Lord. He was a great man, but more importantly, he was a good man; a gracious, gentle, and kind man whose example of charity and compassion, and gentle leadership, will be his lasting legacy.

 

May Almighty God open wide the gates of heaven to Pope Benedict and grant him a blessed reward of eternal peace and joy in the company of the Virgin Mary and  Saint Joseph, and with all the saints and angels in the kingdom of heaven.
