Join the St. Maria Goretti family as we begin Holy Week with our Lenten Mission.

Fasting is to be observed by all Catholics on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday who are 18 years of age until the age of 59. Only one meal should be eaten on those days and No meat. Those who are bound to fast may also take only one full meal. Two small meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength according to each one’s needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted. Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years or older on All Fridays of Lent.

These great looking young people are members of the St. Maria Goretti High School of Religion 9th and 10th grade class who participated in the 10:30AM Mass on Sunday, January 6, 2019 serving as Readers, Gift Bearers, and Ushers. Our parish is proud of them!
