Catholics who have completed their 18th year are bound by this law until the beginning of their 60th year.
ALL FRIDAYS of LENT are days of abstinence. Meat and poultry (i.e. warm-blooded animals) should not be eaten at any meal. The law of abstinence binds all Catholics who have completed their 14th year.
How to use the Hearing Loop
A Hearing Loop has been installed in the Church as a supplement to the speaker system for those who are hearing aid-dependent. The technology requires a hearing aid with a "t-coil" (which most hearing aids have built-in) as part of the hearing aid. In order to access the Loop, the hearing aid must be programmed for the "T" setting, which can be done by a hearing aid specialist. When in the Church, the user can go to the "T" setting on their device and will be connected to the speaker system via their hearing aid.
