      Daily Inspiration

  • Lenten Season at St. Francis Borgia Parish

    • The Way of the Cross is a liturgical service focusing on walking the way to Calvary with Jesus. Each week our parish comes together to focus on a different theme for the stations. All are invited to pray with us.

    • “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
      but that the world might be saved through him.”   (John 3:16-17)

    • ARCHDIOCESAN LENTEN REGULATIONS

      The Church has always helped us fulfill these words of Jesus by prescribing very definite penance for all Catholics, so that we too might have Eternal life. Accordingly, the Pope and the American Bishops have outlined obligatory fast and abstinence as follows:

      Ash Wednesday (February 17, 2021), all Fridays of Lent and Good Friday (April 2, 2021) are days of abstinence (refraining from meat) for all Catholics from age 14 onwards. On these two days, fast, as well as abstinence, is also obligatory for those from the ages of 18-59.

      Abstinence means refraining from meat. Fast means one full meal a day, with two smaller meals and nothing between meals (liquids are permitted). No Catholic will lightly excuse himself or herself from this obligation.  We should strive to make all days of Lent a time of prayer and penance.

  • Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Rice Bowl Lenten Program

    • Each year, during the season of Lent, we have an opportunity to put our faith into action through prayer, fasting and almsgiving.  The Lenten alms donated through CRS Rice Bowl support the work of CRS in more than 100 different countries each year.  Twenty-five percent of donations to CRS Rice Bowl stay in the local diocese, supporting hunger and poverty alleviation efforts.

       

    • CRS Rice Bowl is a staple on the table of Catholic families across the country during Lent. This simple cardboard box is a tool for collecting Lenten alms—and comes with a Lenten calendar that guides families through the 40 days of Lent with activities, reflections and stories.

      The Rice Bowl cardboard boxes are available in Jesuit Hall on the Gathering Table for parishioners to use during the Lenten season.
