Lent
The Season of Lent began Wednesday, Feb. 17. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. Catholics between the ages of 18-59, who are in good health, are called to fast - one regular meal and two small/light meals, with no eating between meals.
All Catholics 14 years old and older are called to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and the Fridays of Lent. Visit USCCB online for more info. |

Believe in Students: This nonprofit was launched in response to 32% of OSU undergraduate students being forced to evacuate college housing and in an effort to assist students from historically underrepresented backgrounds (first-gen students, low-income students, and students who work full time). Funds will go toward helping students find transportation home, secure stable housing, and have access to a stable food supply. NSI Easter Basket Collection The Newman Center is supporting Neighborhood Services, Inc. (NSI) Easter basket collection for families in need of assistance in the university area. NSI aims to alleviate the effects of poverty by providing nutritious food and through seasonal programs and other services to those in need. See how you can help. |
