Mass Cancelations Due to Bad Weather
This past weekend’s bad weather was a reminder that there may be times when Mass needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather.  Here is some important information regarding Mass cancellations. 
At St. John:  Because Fr. Savio resides at St. John’s daily and weekend Masses will always be celebrated there.  Parishioners are urged to use their own judgment as to whether it is safe to attend Holy Mass.
At Good Shepherd: 
· For Thursday morning Masses:  If the Westfield School District is cancelled or delayed due to poor road conditions (not cold temperatures), our Mass on Thursday morning will be cancelled.
· For Tuesday afternoon Masses:  When inclement weather hits, please call the parish office.  If Mass is cancelled an announcement will be posted on the telephone systems.
· For Weekend Masses:  When inclement weather falls on Saturday or Sunday, please call the parish office.  If Mass is cancelled an announcement will be posted on the telephone system.  A message announcing a Mass cancellation will also be posted on the parish Facebook page.
· Again, parishioners are urged to use their own judgment as to whether it is safe for them to attend Holy Mass.
 
 

 
Stations of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross are a wonderful Lenten devotion.  Following Jesus on the Way of the Cross helps us gain appreciation for his tremendous acts of love for us.  Please consider making the Stations of the Cross part of your Lenten Devotion:

Lenten Regulations
During Lent, the Church calls us to the discipline of fasting and abstinence.  The church offers these guidelines:  Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years and older on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of Lent.  Fast is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59.   Those who are bound by these regulations may only take one full meal.  Two smaller meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength according to one’s needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted.
