St. Barnabas Parish

Please pray 🙏🏻 for our beloved Archbishop Nelson.

Dear Friends in Christ,

I’m so grateful for your prayers and concern. I felt very lightheaded during the Chrism Mass today and left the altar. Doctors and EMS personnel evaluated me at the Cathedral. My vital signs are normal and I feel just fine. I’m grateful for their help and your concern. A Blessed Triduum to you all!

🙏 Lent is beginning 💜

With Ash Wednesday on February 18, 2026, the Church enters 40 days of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, preparing our hearts for Holy Week, when we contemplate the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

📌 Fasting & Abstinence Guide:

🔹 Who must fast? Baptized Catholics between 18 and 59.
🍽 What is fasting? One full meal + two small meals that, combined, do not exceed the main meal.

🔹 Who must abstain from meat? Catholics 14 and older.
❌ Avoid: Beef, pork, chicken, lamb.
✅ Allowed: Fish, seafood, and—believe it or not—reptiles!

📅 Obligatory fasting & abstinence: Ash Wednesday & Good Friday
⏳ Recommended abstinence: Every Friday of the year

As we begin this sacred time, let’s embrace prayer, sacrifice, and generosity, preparing ourselves for the joy of Easter.
