Ash Wednesday 2 March, 2022

  1. We begin our annual Lenten Journey with Ash Wednesday, a day of FAST and ABSTINENCE. The law of Abstinence – abstaining from MEAT – binds all who are over the age of 14. IN our Diocese, abstinence can also be practiced (on all Fridays in Lent) through acts of charity or piety. FAST binds all Catholics between the ages of 18 and completion of 60 years, and should be observed as a day of one meal, and very light – if needed – other meatless meals. 
  2. The closure of all churches and chapels in conformity with government regulations during the COVID-19 crisis will continue until at least 20 April 2022.
  3. The RCIA Class with Father McCabe will continue to be followed on-line with new instructions to the class sent out over this weekend.
  4. We invite all parishioners to continue to check with the parish website [https://smc.catholic.org.hk/en/main/] for any updates on the parish Mass schedule. 
  5. There will be a Lenten Prayer and reflection series offered by Father McCabe every Monday, Wednesday, ands Friday of Lent, beginning with Ash Wednesday this coming week, 2 March 2022. To access this series, go to [https://smc.catholic.org.hk/en/main/]; then go to LITURGY (pull down menu) and then to LENTEN RETREAT 2022.
