In Our Parish
Fasting & Abstinence
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are
obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for
Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent
are obligatory days of abstinence.
For members of the Latin Catholic Church,
the norms on fasting are obligatory from
age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person
is permitted to eat one full meal. Two
smaller meals may also be taken, but not to
equal a full meal. The norms concerning
abstinence from meat are binding upon
members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards.
If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter
Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the "paschal fast" to honor the
suffering and death of the Lord Jesus, and to prepare ourselves to
share more fully and to celebrate more readily his Resurrection.
Ash Wednesday, February 18th
Ash Wednesday is a day of Fasting and Abstinence. Ashes will be
distributed at the following Mass times: 8:30am, 12noon, 7:00pm,
and 8:30pm (Spanish).

Prayer for Our Catholic Appeal
Oh Lord, we praise you for the many gifts you give us each
day; from the moment we were a presence in our mother’s
womb to the grace-filled rise of the sun, to the blessing of
Sacrament, to the night which ushers us rest.
Help us to grow in our living faith. Guide us to serve as
leaders to bring about holiness. Bring us to share ourselves
selflessly in all thing in a spirit of love of You.
In the Eucharistic banquet, You give Yourself completely
and entirely to us. We give you our return, oh Lord, with
gratitude knowing there is not measure to the gift of the
Cross which brings us resurrection. Amen.

Our Parish Lenten Project
Human Trafficking is modern day slavery. Although slavery is commonly thought to be
a thing of the past, human trafficking still exists today throughout the United States and
globally when traffickers use force, fraud, or coercion to control other people for the
purpose of engaging in commercial sex or forcing them to provide labor services against
their will. Traffickers use violence, threats, deception, debt bondage, and other
manipulative tactics to trap victims in horrific situations every day in America. All
trafficking victims share one essential experience – the loss of freedom.
Sadly, Florida is commonly known amongst law enforcement personnel to have one of
the highest incidences of human trafficking in the country. Moreover, Florida is
commonly cited along with New York and California as being one of the top three
destinations for trafficking victims in the United States.
This Lent, our faith community will be raising funds to offer a Lenten donation to
Samaritan Village. After all Masses next weekend, we will be passing out boxes so
that each family may join in this simple yet powerful Lenten practice.
Samaritan Village
Samaritan Village is a non profit Christ-centered ministry
for women desiring freedom from sexual exploitation,
located right here in Orlando, FL. Through solid Biblical
teaching, women learn who they truly are (the true self),
what they are wired for, and how they can live wholly,
successfully and productively in society.
When Jesus visited the Samaritan village of Sychar and met the woman at the well, He
changed her life. He revealed Himself to her as the Messiah, but He also revealed to the
woman her true self. The result was that this woman was made whole. But it didn't stop
there. She returned to her village with a message of healing and hope, and the entire
village was transformed. This Samaritan woman found the source of healing and
became the catalyst for transformation. (John 4)
At Samaritan Village, they believe that not only will the lives of women be transformed,
but their families and communities will be changed as well. The cycle of addiction, sex
trafficking, violence and despair must end. This is where it stops.
Utilizing a holistic & trauma-informed model, their program guides women on their
journey to life change. Therapeutic elements include both group and individual
counseling, relapse prevention classes and community service, as well as training in life
skills, fiscal responsibility, and goal setting.
Overview of their program: At the very core of SVI is the belief that personal
transformation lies in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Recovery
programming and house structure reflects Christ-centered values. Believing God desires
wholeness and healing in every part of our lives, they address every aspect of life in
helping women find freedom.
Residents participate in a structured recovery program, living into greater levels of
recovery and competency along the way. Staff and professionals work with each resident
to determine goals, measurable outcomes, and progress. Recovery time varies for each
individual, but residents anticipate spending 12-18 months in the program.
