VOLUNTEER MEETING
Thursday, February 26th
7:30pm in the School Gym
Everyone interested in volunteering to help
with our Parish St. Patrick’s Day Party
is asked to meet in the School Gym on
Thursday, February 26th at 7:30pm.
As we have been unable to meet before now
due to weather, this meeting is very important.
The Party Volunteers meeting
is being held directly after the
Parish Events Steering Committee meeting
so that members of the Steering Committee
who are volunteering for the Party
can attend both meetings.
PARTY RESERVATION FORMS
can be found enclosed in this week’s bulletin
as well as in the back of the Church
and in the Rectory office.
IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE PARTY,
PLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NOW.
This is a dinner dance, so seating is limited...
WE EXPECT THE PARTY TO SELL-OUT.
Seating requests will be accommodated when
possible. Later reservations will be seated at tables where openings are available.
FLOCKNOTE is a great communication
tool for parishes. In addition to offering
parishioners an easy way to remain updated
on the groups and ministries in the parish
that are most important to them, it allows the
parish to quickly let parishioners know about
unplanned circumstances (i.e. meeting
cancellation, parking lot condition etc.) and
send important reminders such as Holyday
reminders and schedules. We were very
pleased to be able to send out a simple
Flocknote this past week that gave our
parishioners the Ash Distribution Schedule
for our North Yonkers Cluster of Churches.
When you sign-up for FLOCKNOTE, in
addition to the rare, parish-wide update we
just mentioned, you can choose to receive
periodic updates (via email or text message)
from the various ministries and groups in our
parish.

2015 CARDINAL’S APPEAL
Christ the King Parish #566
Our Parish Goal is $34,000
Pledges (as of 2/13) $12,515
Our sincere thanks to all who have pledged!
It is quickly proving to be a very useful
service, but it will only be effective if we can
actually reach our parishioners - which
means we really need everyone to sign-up
for Flocknote and at least give this a try.
If you don’t like Flocknote you can unsubscribe
from the service at any time.
The best way to sign-up is to visit our page
online. Just type the following into your
address bar:
flocknote.com/ctkyonkers
IMPORTANT: DO NOT type
www. or https:// before flocknote
Enter the text exactly as shown above and you
should arrive at our sign-up page.
Please enter your name and your email
address and cellphone number (not a landline).
Choosing a password when signing up is optional,
but you will need to pick one if you revisit the site.

We would like to thank all those who have
made their regular weekly contribution for
a Sunday they were unable to attend Mass.
LENTEN REGULATIONS
In the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy it is stated, "The two elements which are
especially characteristic of Lent – the recalling of baptism or the preparation for it,
and penance – should be given greater emphasis in the liturgy and liturgical catechesis.
It is by means of them that the Church prepares the faithful for the celebration of
Easter, while they hear God's word more frequently and devote more time to prayer." (109)
"During Lent, penance should be not only internal but also external and social. The
practice of penance should be encouraged in ways suited to the present day, to different
regions, and to individual circumstances." (110)
A principal means of promoting penance and renewal is the celebration of the Sacrament of Penance. THE
RITE OF PENANCE states that "The season of Lent is most appropriate for celebrating the Sacrament of
Penance… to be reconciled with God and neighbor and so be able to celebrate the paschal mystery in the
Easter triduum with renewed hearts." (no. 13)
Lenten penitential practices should also include intensified prayer, fasting, almsgiving and performing the
works of mercy. The Code of Canon Law reflects this view of penance. Canon 1249 urges all the Christian
faithful to offer special prayers, to perform works of piety and charity, and to mortify themselves by fulfilling
their responsibilities more faithfully. They are likewise encouraged to perform acts of fast and abstinence.
ASH WEDNESDAY & GOOD FRIDAY are days of FAST AND ABSTINENCE FROM MEAT
ALL FRIDAYS IN LENT are days of ABSTINENCE FROM MEAT
FASTING prescribes that only one full meal a day be taken. Two smaller meals may be taken to maintain
strength but these taken together should not equal another full meal. Fasting obliges from the 18th to the 59th
birthday. Those not specifically obliged to fast ar e encour aged to join in the discipline of fasting to the
extent that they are able.
ABSTINENCE prohibits the eating of meat. Abstinence obliges from the 14th birthday on.
There is a serious obligation to observe these penitential practices in a substantial way. Those whose
work or health would be impaired are excused from fast and abstinence. Individual conscience should decide
proper cause for excuse. A more serious excuse is required to excuse oneself from Ash Wednesday and Good
Friday fast and abstinence.
