We, the Roman Catholic community of Sacred Heart Croatian parish, are a family of diverse people united through faith in Jesus Christ. We accept our baptismal call: to proclaim and witness the good news of the gospel; to live and work together as brothers and sisters; to celebrate God’s goodness in the sacraments and sacred scriptures; to serve all with justice, peace, and love in the name of the Lord. Embracing all, as a faith community, we promise to grow together to bring about the promise of God’s kingdom on earth.

FASTING & ABSTINENCE:
Catholics age 14 andolder are to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all Fridays of Lent. In addition, on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, Catholics age 18 to 59 are to fast, limiting themselves to one full meal and two smaller meals each day.
ALMSGIVING:
Moved by the sacrifice of Christ, many Christians combine almsgiving with fasting, giving to the poor the money they save by eating, drinking or buying less as they rely more upon God’s grace. There are LENTEN FOLDERS available at the en trance of the Church for this purpose where you can put in each day of Lent some money for the poor. We will collect the folders on Good Friday.
Walk the path of Jesus and follow the stations of the Cross in English on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM and in Croatian on Fridays at 6:30 PM.
