Our Catholic Appeal is an annual opportunity for every member of our faith family to support the life-changing work of the Diocese of Orlando. Gifts to Our Catholic Appeal fund a wide variety of ministries that serve our nine counties in ways that no parish could accomplish alone.
HOW YOUR GIFT TO OUR CATHOLIC APPEAL HELPS OTHERS
Your gifts to Our Catholic Appeal are the sole source of funding for 28 ministries that benefit every parish, mission and school in our diocese. In addition, your gifts provide critical support for outreach programs such as Catholic Charities of Central Florida, Hope CommUnity Center, and our schools in the Diocese of San Juan de la Maguana in the Dominican Republic.
Because of your generosity, we are able to:
• support 35 seminarians in their formation
• provide food, medical care and housing to those in need
• organize spiritual enrichment opportunities for both the lay community and our clergy
• train parish catechists and certify new lay ecclesial ministers
• evangelize through diocesan-wide media
• meet with elected officials to discuss issues that affect all people, Catholic and non-Catholic alike
For information on the great work made possible through a gift to Our Catholic Appeal, visit our website, https://www.cfocf.org/oca. Contact our Gift Manager, Crystal St. Julien, at [email protected] or call (407) 246-7187.
EDGE & LIFE TEEN—meet at 6pm in Emmaus Hall Sunday, February 18 and will attend the 7pm Lenten Mission together.

Regulations for Fast and Abstinence
Ash Wednesday, February 14 and Good Friday, March 30, 2018 are days of fast and abstinence. Fridays of Lent are also days of abstinence. Fasting is to be observed by all 18 years of age and older who have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday. On a fast day one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices are allowed. Abstinence is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On days of abstinence no meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. When in doubt concerning fast and abstinence, the parish priest should be consulted.
Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and catechumens should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit of penance and of preparation for baptism or of renewal of baptism at Easter.

and abstinence. Read and meditate on John’s account of Jesus’ passion and death
(John 18-19).
“Lent is the liturgical season of forty days which begins with Ash Wednesday and ends with the celebration of the Paschal Mystery (Easter Triduum). Lent is the primary penitential season in the Church’s liturgical year, reflecting the forty days Jesus spent in the desert in fasting and prayer” (Catechism of the Catholic Church).
