two $500 scholarships to Grade 12 students who
are going directly to an approved institution (e.g., college, university, trade school, bible college) this fall.
Preference may be given to practising Catholic students
who attend the Church of the Assumption, who are
children of a Knight and/or to those who may need
financial assistance.
Please include the following with your application:
- cover letter with the name of the institution you will
be attending;
- level of involvement in church activities and other
extra-curricular activities (school/community);
- previous job experience;
- first semester grades; and reference letter.
Please submit your application to the Brooks School

placed in Mr. Anderson's box."
THANK YOU
Thanking everyone who sent us cards, I am sorry I could not answer anyone as I was very sick all Winter and I spent sometime in hospital. It is this week that I was allowed to go to Mass but not outside. Thank you and God bless you. Sr. Claire
LENTEN FRIDAY ADORATION
For ALL Fridays in Lent, Adoration of the
Blessed Sacrament will be from 10am until 6:45pm followed by Stations at 7pm.
And on the First Fridays ONLY (2) there
will be Mass following the Stations of the
Cross.
Fasting and Abstinence during Lent
The Church prescribes fasting (only one full meal and two
smaller meals which together are not greater than a full meal)
and abstinence from meat on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Catholics aged 18-59 are bound to fast; those 14-59 to
abstinence. Those who are ill are freed from these obligations.
Everyone, even those above the age of 59, are encouraged to
fast and abstain. Parents and educators are reminded of their
duty to introduce children gradually to the understanding and
practice of penance.
Canada's liturgical calendar, the Ordo, specifies that Fridays are special days of abstinence. This includes Fridays of
Lent, although Catholics can substitute special acts of charity
or piety on these days.
Word Among Us Missal Subscriptions
The MARCH-LENT copies are here.
Please pick up from the Rectory office or
about the middle of previous month the missals come in, so
after that for a weekend or two, Sharon will have them to
give out at the 4:30 Mass, Saturdays and 10am Mass.
Thank you.
