Friday, December 1, 12:00 AM - 11:59 PMEvery Friday of the year is a day of penance in remembrance of Christ's crucifixion on Good Friday (Canon 1250). Abstaining from meat is the traditional norm of the Church and was the norm of the American churches until the USCCB released a pastoral statement in 1966 altering the practice. Since then, Catholics in the United States may substitute abstaining from meat for another form of penance except for on Ash Wednesday and Friday's during Lent (Canon 1250-1251). Abstinence from meat is binding upon Catholics from the age of 14 onwards. Abstinence is not required if a Solemnity falls on a Friday. Fasting is required for Catholics from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal.Read More

Rite of Christian Initiation for Children
The Christian initiation of these children must be adapted both to their growth in faith and to the catechetical instruction they will receive. This process may take several years. (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults #253)
Parents should be actively engaged in this process and the children/youth should have a peer group and participate in the parish preparation for the sacraments.
These children/youth are to received Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist in that order in one single ceremony preferably at the Easter Vigil together with the older catechumens [RCIA, National Statutes, 18].
Children who have attained the use of reason and are of catechetical age and whose baptism in another Christian faith is recognized by the Catholic Church are considered candidates. They are to be confirmed and receive their first Holy Communion at the mass in which they are received into full communion. -
Religious Education Parent LetterTo all parents of Religious Education students,
Thank you for choosing Little Flower’s Religious Education Program! The mission of our Religious Education program is to proclaim the good news of Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church to those in Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. It is my goal and the goal of all of our catechists to help the children of our community come to know their faith and their Creator more fully. The following is important information regarding sacraments:- First Reconciliation for those in Second Grade will happen on the evening of February 15, 2024. There will be a mandatory parent meeting on February 7, 2024 to discuss the event. Only a parent and the candidate are required to attend, please do not bring more people than necessary. The child’s baptism and confirmation certificates will be required.
- If your child was baptized as an infant but has received no formal catechesis (education in the faith), he or she must participate in sacramental classes to receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at the First Communion Mass on the morning of April 28, 2024. These children are called candidates. There will be a mandatory parent meeting on April 24, 2024 to discuss the Mass and expectations of the candidates. Only a parent and the candidate are required to attend, please do not bring more people than necessary. The child’s baptism certificate will be required.
- If your child is seven years old or older and has not been baptized, he or she will participate in sacramental classes to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist at the Easter Vigil Mass starting the evening of March 30, 2024. Such children are called catechumens and all catechumens will need a sponsor. Sponsors must be practicing Catholics who are at least sixteen years old and confirmed in the Catholic Church. Sponsors must be present at the Easter Vigil with their catechumen. A letter from the sponsor’s registered parish and the sponsor’s baptism and confirmation certificates are required.
In Christ,
James Wyatt
