Lenten Regulations:
Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years old and older on Ash Wednesday and on all the Fridays of Lent. Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59. Those who are bound by this may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength according to one’s needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted. The special Paschal fast, as well as abstinence, are prescribed for Good Friday and encouraged for Holy Saturday.

This year, Saint George offers you an opportunity to expand your Lenten Journey through a five week presentation and discussion called The Search.
The Search is an innovative video series. In beautifully filmed episodes, Chris Stefanick and experts from multiple fields of science, medicine, psychology, art, and religion examine our place in the larger story of existence.
Whether you are a practiced inquirer or a jaded skeptic. The Search will speak to you. You may find a lot here to think about. And when all is said and done, file’s questions demand to be answered.
All are invited, those looking to challenge their faith journey, those who haven’t yet found the path on their faith-journey, and those who are certain they are on the right path. Click here for a preview.
If you cannot join us on Monday evenings, we encourage you to invite some of your friends to come together in your homes and watch the videos together. Each video can be independently viewed, and is not contingent on you watching a previous one. As a parishioner of Saint George Parish you have access through a format called FORMED.
