We encourage you to deepen your devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus this Lenten season by attending First Friday Mass on April 4th, 6:30 pm at St. Catharine of Siena Church. Stations of the Cross will follow.
A “First Friday” is the first Friday of the month and is often marked by special devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus since Jesus died for us and won our salvation on a Friday. Every Friday of the year, and not only the Fridays in Lent, is a special day of penance as stipulated in the Code of Canon Law: “The penitential days and times in the universal Church are every Friday of the whole year and the season of Lent” (Canon 1250).
