FAST AND ABSTINENCE AND OTHER ACTS OF
PENANCE FOR LENT 2015
The Bishops of the United States prescribe, as minimal
obligation, that all persons who are 14 years of age or
older are bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday,
on all the Fridays of Lent and Good Friday.
All persons 18 years of age and older, up to and including
their 59th birthday, are bound to fast by limiting
themselves to a single full meal on Ash Wednesday and
Good Friday, while the other two meals on those days are
to be light. All the faithful are encouraged, when possible,
to participate at Mass and to receive the Holy Eucharist
daily, to celebrate frequently the Sacrament of Penance, to
undertake spiritual reading, especially the study of the
Sacred Scriptures, and to participate in parish Lenten
devotions, as well as Lenten education programs.

ST. JAMES REGIONAL CATHOLIC SCHOOL
I want to thank everyone who made last week’s Mass
and Spaghetti Dinner for Emmaus Home such a success.
There were well over 200 people there. We had the
opportunity to do some very Christian things. We gave
thanks and praise to God. We welcomed people who
want to help those who are disadvantaged. We shared
faith and fellowship.
ST. JAMES ALUMNI ASSOCIATION is pleased to
announce that they will once again be sponsoring high
school scholarships to students who plan to attend an
archdiocesan high school for the 2015-2016 school year.
The scholarship applicant must be a practicing Catholic
from a Delaware County parish. The students eligible are
graduating 8th graders and current high school students.
The scholarship applications are available upon request
(phone: 610-876-2006 or email: stjdoghouse@
comcast.net). Applicants are evaluated on several
categories, i.e., academic achievement, community service
and financial need. The student is also required to write
an essay on an assigned topic. All applications with the
complete requested information must be returned by 2:00
pm Wednesday, April 8, 2015.
In my homily, I said nothing good is going to happen in
an empty building. But wonderful things can happen
when faith filled people come together to do the work of
the Lord. Last Saturday, St. Gabriel’s parish went to St.
Margaret Mary’s for Emmaus Home, and got things off
to a very good start.
Peace,
Fr. Orth
