Fasting Guidelines
All are asked to fast (one main meal only) on Ash Wednesday, March 5th and Good Friday, April 18th. Fasting at other times is recommended but left to each person to decide. We are expected to abstain from meat on the Fridays of Lent.
When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal.
You can drop off or mail payment to the parish office.
Christ the King Parish, PO Box 1800, Mashpee, MA 02649
Please consider fasting in the broader sense of self-denial by forgoing other extras such as dining out, imbibing in expensive wines or liquors, giving up a daily coffee shop stop or other entertainments in order to put some resources aside to be shared with the poor. As is our custom at CTK, we will collect the fruits of our Lenten sacrifices during Holy Thursday evening mass and offer these alms to three charities: Cross Catholic Outreach, Matthew 25, and Catholic Relief Services.

Ignation Prayer Adventure
This is an adapted version of the Spiritual Exercises. Materials are modified from the longer retreat in The Ignatian Adventure by Kevin O’Brien, SJ.
The eight-week schedule makes it perfectly timed as a Lent and Easter retreat, but the adventure can be started at any time, on your schedule. Join in a flexible experience of daily prayer and reflection. Choose to commit to a regular period of prayer each day, or start with only one day a week. Use as much or as little of the material as helps you in your Lenten journey.
Online Retreat
This Lent, become a spiritual athlete and join Tim for The Ignatian Workout for Lent. Each Monday he’ll share audio reflections accompanied by suggestions for prayer and action. Based on the book of the same name, the online retreat begins the week of Ash Wednesday and continues through Easter Week.
Sacred Space
Sacred Space is inspired by the spirituality of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, a sixteenth-century Basque, whose insights into God’s working with the human heart have been of great assistance to countless people over the centuries and are found more helpful than ever today.
Sacred Space is a joint apostolate of the Irish Province of the Society of Jesus – the Jesuits, and Loyola Press. The site originated in the offices of the Jesuit Communication Centre in Ireland in 1999.
