WINTER EMBER DAYS
Wed, Dec 16 / Fri, Dec 18 / Sat, Dec 19

The Ember Days are a time to give thanks to God for his gifts by using them in moderation, helping the needy, and also praying for priests. The Winter Ember Days are observed on the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday following the Feast of St. Lucy (December 13th). They are offered in thanksgiving for the olive harvest, which gives us holy oils. The penance is traditionally fasting on Wednesday and Saturday, with fasting and abstinence from meat on Friday. We invite you to consider joining in this act of penance as a parish community to prepare for the festivities and solemnities of Christmas!

We hope that you will join us to pray and encourage this time as a launching point for further community; gather together with others before or after this holy hour to share, discuss, and reflect on what the Lord is doing in your life.
