Your donations help strengthen the Church of this region throughgrants to Catholic organizations that help those in need receive food, shelter, medicine, pastoral care, and compassionthrough the light of Christ. Please be generous.ASHWEDNESDAYLenten Regulations Everyone 14 years old or over is bound to abstainfrom meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent.

So please join St. Anthony’s Catholic Church as wespend reflective time this Lenten season searching for answers to the above questions.All baptized Catholics are called to a specific vocation (or calling from God). This Lentwe will be hosting a series of talks exploring the vocations that any Catholic mayassume in service to the Lord and His Church. We will be having guest speakerstalking about the vocation they have been called to, hopefully we can find answers towhat the vocation does and hear their individual stories of answering their call.We hope you will join us on Wednesday evenings during Lent for Mass and stay forthe talks that follow. Hopefully we can use this time as a self examination, a time to answerthe above questions for ourselves, as a way to use this Lent to prepare ourselves for theservice of the Lord, so that we may truly answer God’s Call for each and every one of us.Wednesdays of Lent • February 29, March 7, 14, 21, 28, 2012Mass at 6:30 PM • Lenten Sharings in St. Anthony Hall after Mass
