Fasting & Abstinence from the Archdiocese of Seattle
For this penitential season, the Church draws on the wisdom of the Scriptures and tradition in suggesting a time of intense prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
Catholics in the United States are obliged to abstain on all Fridays during the season of Lent. Catholics are also obliged to fast on Good Friday, March 29.
Fasting
On a day of fasting, one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one's needs, but they should not equal the other full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices, are permitted. The obligation of fasting binds Catholics who are 18-59 years old.
Abstinence
On days of abstinence, eating meat is not allowed. The obligation of abstinence applies to those 14 years and older. The law does not oblige when health or ability to work would be seriously affected.

You can pick up your family's CRS Rice Bowl at Mass. During the 40 days of Lent, we reflect on the impact of global hunger and climate change on vulnerable communities worldwide, and we will pray, fast, and give alms to help our sisters and brothers in need.
75% of donations aid international hunger relief, while 25% returns to the Seattle Archdiocese through grants.

Walk to Calvary with Jesus
The Health Ministry's annual Meatless Fridays in Lent campaign starts on the first Friday of Lent and ends on Good Friday.
It's a beautiful way to improve not only your spiritual well-being but also your health. The Health Ministry invites you to try a new, tasty meatless recipe each week and recommends that you take a healthful walk of at least 1/3 of a mile each Sunday to commemorate the distance Jesus walked on his journey to Calvary and reflect on the Prayer for Sundays during Lent during your walk.
A Chance to Win
Everyone who goes meatless on all Fridays in Lent is eligible for a chance to win a $100 Metropolitan Market gift card courtesy of the Health Ministry.
Meatless Recipes
We'll share meatless recipes from the Metropolitan Market selected by the Health Ministry each week.
Check out the recipe for the following Friday in Lent. Shop for ingredients this weekend so you're ready.

Seven Churches Visitation
Join us for the 3rd annual pilgrimage of the Seven Church Visitation!
The Mass of the Lord's Supper is followed by adoration at seven churches within South King and Pierce County; times and locations are to be announced. To sign up for notifications once the route is finalized, please call or text Mackenzie Capaci at
480-353-6224.
The pilgrimage is a powerful way to spend time in adoration, meditating on Christ's sacrifice of love for the salvation of souls in preparation for the joy of Easter.
The Eucharist is placed on a temporary "altar of repose" at the end of the Holy Thursday Mass. It is customary for the faithful to process together to this altar and spend time in quiet prayer and adoration.
The origin of the Seven Churches Visitation is practiced by Catholics worldwide. It's a powerful way to spend time in adoration, meditating on Christ's sacrifice of love for the salvation of souls in preparation for the joy of Easter.

Catholic Advocacy
March 7 marked the close of the legislative session. Thank you for joining the WSCC and advocating for the common good. The latest advocacy bulletin details bills the WSCC worked on during this session.
Most of the bills await action by Governor Jay Inslee before being enacted into law. Governor Inslee may now sign these bills into law, veto them, partially veto them, or do nothing. If he does nothing, the bills will automatically become law. Two actions you can take to support WSCC legislative priorities are in the latest edition of the Catholic Advocacy Bulletin.
Join the WSCC in advocating for the common good by reading the Catholic Advocacy Bulletin. The bulletin includes Action Alerts to sign virtually for bills of importance to Catholics.

Lent in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS)
CGS is an approach to faith formation where children 3-12 years old are formed in the Catholic faith in a sacred space called the Atrium.
The Last Supper
The Cenacle or Upper Room is the traditional way of referring to the location where the Last Supper took place in Jerusalem.
In the Atrium, children as young as three are introduced, through the Cenacle material, to the feast of Passover, a special celebration in which the Jewish people eat the same foods and pray the same prayers every year. The Last Supper follows this tradition, but Jesus prays new prayers that had never been prayed before.
Read more about The Last Supper in the atrium Parent Page.
To learn more about CGS at Saint Patrick Church, visit the Atrium, serve or train as a catechist, email Kim Ward, CGS Coordinator, or call 253-274-4108.
For more information, visit the national CGS Association and the local consortium website, The Sheepfold.
