POPE’S Intention February: Month of February

Human Trafficking.

For a generous welcome of the victims of human traffick-

ing, of enforced prostitution, and of violence.

ASH WEDNESDAY MARCH 6TH The first day of The Lenten season

The 2019 Lenten season begins with the March 6th obser-

vance of Ash Wednesday. Regulations pertaining to fasting

and abstinence are printed below. The Catholic Church asks

each person to preserve the penitential character and pur-

pose of Lent. For this reason, Catholics who have cele-

brated their 14th birthday are bound to abstain from meat

on Ash Wednesday and each Friday of Lent. Catholics who

have celebrated their 18th birthday, in addition to ab-

staining from meat, should fast on Ash Wednesday and

Good Friday. Hence, on those days they should eat only one

full meal. Smaller quantities of food may be taken at two

other meals, but no food should be consumed at other times

during those two days. The obligation of fasting ceases

with the celebration of one’s 59th birthday. Catholics

should not lightly excuse themselves from these prescribed

minimal penitential practices.

HUMAN CONCERNS 2/24

Food Collection Weekend will be on March 9th and 10th

SVdP Food Pantry currently needs Canned meat, spaghetti sauce, cereal (not novelty chil-

dren's), diced tomatoes, stewed tomatoes and, Chef Boyar-

Room. Monetary Donations are accepted. Make checks

HUMAN TRAFFICKING 2/24 Historically, the lack of public awareness regarding issues

of human trafficking was mistaken for domestic abuse or

prostitution. In the 80's & 90's children as young as 12 were

locked up for prostitution; in reality, they were being traf-

ficked.

Racial & economic segregation created isolated communi-

ties that didn't have adequate police protection resulting in a

"family business" that was cultivated over generations.
