Fasting on Good Friday

I plan to fast on Good Friday. As a convert I was wondering if the fast ends at the Holy Hour of 3 pm or goes on to midnight on this day. I always stopped the fast at 3 pm, but perhaps this is not…Continue

Hi Jennifer, I noticed you wrote that you are a convert...so am I, since 2006. I wanted to ask you if your highschooler is Catholic also, and how it works for both of you using Seton. Thanks, hope you don't mind my…

Hi Shaundra, Seton has been such a blessing for my daughter, and entire family. I have called the counselors quite a bit the last few months with questions and they are always so helpful, polite and exemplary in their knowledge and dedication to…

Hi Michelle, This is our first year with Seton. My daughter is in 10th grade, coming out of public schools. Seton has been a huge adjustment for her. It's definitely an excellent college prep curriculum, and solidly Catholic. I too love the…

I just received my dd's quarter religion grade from Seton Homeschool and I am really disappointed and surprised it is so low! A 71, which is a D-. She studied and worked so hard...Does anyone have any experience with Seton's religion…

Thanks for the ideas Jo! DD and I went shopping again last night and found a great dress, with a 3/4 length sleeve bolero to match that covers what needs to be! It looks so cute, and DD is very happy with it. ( it was on sale too!) There were lots…

Modest prom gown

My dd will be attending our homeschool co-op teen banquet/prom and a modest gown is required for the girls. Does anyone know of a site online that sells stylish, yet modest long gowns for teens? Our local dept. stores have nothing that would qualify...they must not be backless, cut out midfriffs, spagetti strapped, one shoulder or too low cut.. Any ideas are most welcome. Thanks!

Thanks for the responses, you all were a good help on this subject. I am not young anymore either, but I plan on a total fast (only water) until 6pm then tea and broth until midnight. God Bless...

Roger Thomas replied to Jennifer R.'s discussion 'Fasting on Good Friday'

I think it's a personal option, so long as the Church guidelines for fasting are observed. When I was younger I'd fast until the next morning, but as I age and my system has less tolerance for fasting, I just fast until dinnertime. On Good…

In Eastern (Byzantine) Catholic tradition, Holy & Great Friday is observed as a strict fast & adults are expected to abstain from all food & drink (not including water & medicine) the entire day to the extent that their health…

DIC is Disinseminated Intravascular Coagulation...basically the body has a multi-system organ failure like dominoes falling...I went into shock, and lost the clotting factor of platlets, the body tries to compensate by making more blood, thus the…

Right now I am the only Catholic in my house, but my 7th grade daughter is very interested in the Church. She already believes in Jesus' Presence in the Eucharist, and also the Church's teachings on Mary. I am getting ready to teach her with CHC's materials. But I am wondering what I should use for my older daughter for her junior and senior years. Both of my girls have been in public school the past few years and it is not working out well anymore. Anyway, thanks for any response. God bless you and your family!
