Abba, Padre, tú eres mi Padre, yo soy tu hijo...yo soy tu hija. Te amo.

Pray as a family! How? Take five minutes of your day...turn off the radio, the television, the cell phone...sit comfortably in front of the Crucifix or a Holy Picture...then slowly pray one Our Father, three Hail Marys and one Glory Be. You are praying for the health, the unity and the holiness of your family...and for vocations...to the priesthood and religious life. If you live alone...we ask that you pray with a relative, friend or neighbor or come to Church to pray with us. Let us continue this prayer revolution! Let us transform Santa Maria and our community. Without prayer...there is no communication with our Heavenly Father!

Marriage in the Church: If you have never been married in the Church… and are now married civilly… and would like to celebrate the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony...please speak to Father Alexis or Father Martin ASAP.

Are you praying as a family?

Parking: Where should I park when I come to Church? Please park only in the School Parking Lot...at the corner of Zerega and Glebe. Please DO NOT park in the parking lot in front of the Church...because it is reserved...and if the gate is locked we do not have the key. Thank you.

Lenten Regulations:

ABSTINENCE: All Catholics who have reached their 14th birthday are bound to abstain totally from meat on the following days: Ash Wednesday, all Fridays of Lent, & Good Friday. FASTING: All Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 are bound also to observe the Law of Fast on the following days: Ash Wednesday (March 1st) and Good Friday (April 14th). Fasting, that is, eating less, involves limiting oneself to a single full meal and avoiding food between meals. Lighter nourishment may be taken on two other occasions in the course of the day but this should not equal a full meal. If you are sick you are dispensed.
