Remember in your prayers: Dudley Hurst, Frank Boniewski, Pete Roberts, Mary Sexton, Archbishop Kurtz, Helen Lucas, Jo Ellen’s mom, Mary Ellen, Lonnie Howard, Katie Kon, and Mary Beth Norris.

Also remember in your prayers the homebound, those in nursing homes, those who have no one to pray for them,
those in prisons, physical or mental, for priests who speak the truth from the pulpit and for those who don’t,
and those who have unspoken prayer requests.

(Last week’s question along with the answer:)

Question #165: Is Ash Wednesday a Holy Day of obligation?
Answer: Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. It is a day of fasting and abstinence. Mass on Ash Wednesday is one of the most popular and well attended of the entire year, but Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of obligation.
Question #166: Why do we fast and abstain in the Lenten season?
(The answer will appear in next week’s page along with a new question)
