I will lead a Parish Day of Recollection for the Lenten season on February 29th. The day will start with Mass at 8:30am, a lite reception following Mass, a conference from 9:30am-11:30am, and Holy Hour with confessions from 11:30am-12:30pm. The theme for this day is “Fast vs. Feast.” This serves as a reminder that Easter is a great feast, but if we are to celebrate with great joy we first need to fast. This is true not only of Easter, but with our encounter with the Eucharist for to prepare for this feast we are asked to fast for one hour prior to its reception. This concept of fast vs. feast appears in other areas of liturgical life and can aid us in the celebrations that we are about to celebrate with great joy.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
