We hope you will join us for a "Simple Irish Supper" on St. Patrick's Day!
This Lenten dinner will be a treat! The first parish in the state of Georgia was the Church of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and it was founded predominantly by Irish settlers and immigrants.
At the dinner, we will hear the story of the parish's founding from the woman in charge of perserving this great history, Ms. Betsy Orr, and members of her team at the Purificaiton Heritage Center.
There will be a 50/50 Reverse Raffle, Green Beer, an authentic Irish Lenten Dinner, and good times! See the graphic above for the dates of ticket sales. -
Lenten Fasting and Abstinence PracticesAsh 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.
Members of the Eastern Catholic Churches are to observe the particular law of their own sui iuris Church.
If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the "paschal fast" to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to celebrate more readily his Resurrection.
ESPAÑOL
El Miércoles de Ceniza y el Viernes Santo son días obligatorios de ayuno y abstinencia para los católicos. Además, los viernes de Cuaresma son días de abstinencia obligatoria.
Para los miembros de la Iglesia Católica Latina, las normas sobre el ayuno son obligatorias desde los 18 años hasta los 59 años. Al ayunar, se permite a una persona comer una comida completa, así como dos comidas más pequeñas que juntas no equivalen a una comida completa. Las normas relativas a la abstinencia de carne son vinculantes para los miembros de la Iglesia Católica Latina a partir de los 14 años.
Los miembros de las Iglesias Católicas Orientales deben observar la ley particular de su propia Iglesia sui iuris.
Si es posible, el ayuno del Viernes Santo se continúa hasta la Vigilia Pascual (en la noche del Sábado Santo) como el "ayuno pascual" para honrar el sufrimiento y la muerte del Señor Jesús y prepararnos para compartir más plenamente y celebrar más fácilmente su Resurrección. -
