Prayer, Fasting, & Almsgiving
Prayer
Fasting
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.
For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards.
More information can be found on the USCCB Website.
Almsgiving
Lenten Fishes & Loaves Project
This Lent, we are supporting Family Promise, Pregnancy Resources of Delaware County and St. Vincent de Paul families, helping two clients from each organization.
How It Works:
- “Fish” will be distributed after all Masses on Ash Wednesday (2/18 ).
- Distribution will continue the weekend of 21/22 while supplies last.
- SCRIP gift cards will be available March 7 & 8.
- Donated gift cards are due the weekend of March 29.
Thank you for helping us share Christ’s love with families in need this Lenten season.
Ash Wednesday Special Collection
The Ash Wednesday collection is a vital part of JOIN’s mission to serve our neighbors in need—offering not only essential assistance, but also hope, dignity, and the assurance of Christ’s love.
In 2025, SJN generosity helped:
- 2,400+ families keep their lights, heat, or water on
- 650+ families obtain birth certificates needed for ID, housing, employment, and school enrollment
- 700+ families access transportation for work, medical appointments, and recovery support
Because of your open hearts, lives were stabilized and futures strengthened. This year, JOIN is also exploring new opportunities to expand our impact in partnership with parishes and community partners. We look forward to sharing more soon.
We prayerfully ask you to once again support JOIN through the Ash Wednesday Collection.
