Eat only one meal and two "snacks" which together are less than a full meal. All healthy Catholics from age 18-59 are expected to observe this practice on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

All healthy Catholics over the age of 14 are expected to abstain from eathing meat on Ash Wednesday, all Fridays in Lent and on Good Friday of Holy Week.

Jesus teaches that giving alms means making the needs of others our own, especially the needy of our world. Almsgiving is not just for the wealthy. We all have something material to give. Donate personal possessions, donate food, donate money. The faithful also are encouraged to donate their time in service to the poor. Christ the King supports Catholic Relief Services' Operation Rice Bowl and encourages all parish families to take a Rice Bowl. Simple recipes accompany the Rice Bowl, and families are encouraged to use these recipes during Lent, contributing the money they save on their meal to the Rice Bowl.

During Lent daily Mass is offered in the evenings at 5:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, except during spring break (Mar. 18-22). Morning Mass takes place as usual at 6:30am (except Thursday mornings when school is in session Mass is at 8:15am). School Mass during Holy Week will take place at 8:15am on Wednesday, Apr. 17, 2019.
