Lenten Regulations
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast andabstinence. The Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence.
The obligation of abstinence (refraining from eating meat) begins at age 14. The law of fasting (limiting oneself to one full meal and two lighter meals) obliges allbetween the ages of 18-59.
Those individuals who have a medical condition in which fasting may be considered harmful are not obliged to fast, but should perform other acts of penance or charity.

Please use the Mass Intention form to schedule new Mass intentions. Each registered parish household may submit one (1) Mass Intention Request Form to schedule only one (1) weekend Mass and two (2) weekday Masses for a total of three (3) Mass Intentions, based on availability. If possible, it is suggested to group deceased family members together.
Please be aware that your Mass intention date may be moved. Due to the responsibilities of the parish priests, Mass intentions may be moved to another day or time during the given year.
NO Mass intentions can be scheduled Holy Thursday, Good Friday, or Easter Vigil, Easter Sunday or Christmas Eve and Day.
According to Church Law, our priests are obligated to offer one Mass intention for all the people entrusted to him each Sunday. This “Mass of the People” will be scheduled on an alternating basis between our worship sites of Holy Rosary, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal and St. Patrick.
All Mass requests must be submitted in writing using the Mass Intention Request Form. The suggested stipend in the Diocese of Pittsburgh is $10 per Mass. Please make the check payable to St. Oscar Romero Parish. This stipend must be included with the form at the time of scheduling.
Please return the completed form and stipend in an envelope clearly marked “Mass Requests” to any of our parish offices during regular business hours, placing it in the weekend collection basket or mailing the form to St. Oscar Romero, 317 W. Pike St., Canonsburg, PA 15317. Masses will be scheduled in the order that request forms are received.
Please call the office at 724-745-6560 if you have any questions. Because the Mass is the highest form of worship on Earth, there are many fruits and graces that result from having a Mass intention said. Thank you.
