Why isn’t fish considered meat’?? April
The reason is foggy. Saint Paul’s first letter
to the Corinthians, for one, has been used 14th - Stations of the Cross at Stampfel’s
to justify fasting rules. Paul wrote, “ ... There - 4pm
is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of
beasts, another of fish, and another of birds”
(15:39). That distinction was possibly taken
from Judaism’s own dietary restrictions, HOLY WEEK -
which separates fleishig (which includes
land-locked mammals and fowl) from
18th -- Holy Thursday
pareve (which includes fish). Neither the Torah, Talmud, or New St. Mary’s - 5pm
Testament clearly explains the rationale behind the divide.
According to the United States Conference of Cathoiic Bisnops, St. Agnes - 7pm
abstinence laws sav meat is considereo something that comes only
from animals that live on land, like chicken, cows, sheep or pigs. 19th -- Good Friday - St. Mary’s - 12pm
Fish are considered a different category of animal.
Meat has always been associated with luxury, celebration and St. Michael’s - 3pm
feast.
It is a way of remembering and recognizing the sacrifice Jesus
20th -- Easter Vigil - St. Michael’s 7pm
made on the cross. Fridays are particularly associated with the 21st -- Easter Mass - St. Mary’s 8am
crucifixion. Jesus was crucified on Friday, so we choose a peniten-
tial date that happens to be Friday.

Mass Etiquette: 20 Things To Do And Not Do In Mass
(continued from last week)
11. Please be quiet while in church. Once you enter the
sanctuary – it is not the time or place to visit with those
around you. If you must talk do so as quietly and briefly
as possible. Remember that your conversation might
be disturbing someone who is in prayer, which is much
more important. Sssshhhhhhhh.
12. Take loud children to the back. Every parent knows
that sometimes the baby is going to have a bad day. Sit on
the end of a pew, if you can, and take the kid to the back Masses for the Week of
quickly. Don’t wait too long before you make a move.
There is no reason to be embarrassed about having to quiet your child in the April 14th - Holy Week
back of the church. It is worse to allow them to disturb Mass continually.
13. Prepare your offering before Mass. Christ tells us not to let your left hand Sunday 14th For Peace
know what your right hand is doing when you make your offering. Keeping St. Mary’s
the basket while you get your wallet out can sometimes become quite a scene.
14. No bulletin reading during Mass. Imagine if you invited a guest to your Tuesday 16th For the Parish
house and before dinner (or during) they decided to read a magazine instead St. Mary’s
of talking to you. That is what is happening in God’s house when you read the
bulletin. Wednesday 17th For the Parish
15. Respect Boundaries others may have. You might want to hold hands to St. Mary’s
pray, they may not. They might be sick and not want to shake during the sign
of peace. These are all OK. Do not make any unnecessary judgment because Thursday Holy Thursday
they worship differently. 18th
