St. Cyril of Jerusalem Parish

We need your help! In order to ensure our Masses are conducted as safely as possible, volunteers are needed at Sunday and daily Masses to help with visitor check-in, health symptom check, ushering and seating people, cleaning and sanitizing after each Mass, and carrying equipment. The need for volunteers will be especially critical once we resume Masses inside the church. If you can sacrifice one hour a week, please sign up. If you are an existing volunteer we ask that you visit the link and sign up again so that we have a complete list of volunteers.

Thank you for willingness to help! 

Here's a little refresher on the rules for fasting and abstinence:

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.

For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory 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. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards.

If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the "paschal fast" to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to celebrate more readily his Resurrection.

Live Lent at Home and Change the World

Join our faith community—and more than 12,000 Catholic communities across the United States—in a life-changing Lenten journey with CRS Rice Bowl. Strengthen our domestic church and stay connected with our sisters and brothers around the world through the traditional Lenten practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving with your family at home and learn how you can help those most in need.

During the 40 days of Lent, we will reflect on how hunger and malnutrition affect our human family, and on the need to take action to end this global injustice.

If you don't have a CRS Rice Bowl, your famly can still participate by clicking here. A collection Sunday to collect your CRS donations will be announced on a future date. Visit crsricebowl.org to learn more.

As the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines against COVID-19 become available, it is critically important that Catholics and others have an accurate understanding of how these vaccines may be viewed from the perspective of Catholic moral teaching and tradition.  The Vatican’s doctrinal office, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), has determined that it is “morally acceptable” for Catholics to take these vaccines against the COVID-19 Virus.  Their determination is deeply rooted in the Catholic moral tradition.
