Precepts of the Catholic Church
The Precepts of the Church describe the minimum effort we must make in prayer and in living a moral life. All Catholics are called to move beyond the minimum by growing in love of God and love of neighbor:
- § Attendance at Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation
- § Confession of serious sin at least once a year
- § Reception of Holy Communion at least once a year during the Easter season
- § Observance of the days of fast and abstinence
- § Providing for the needs of the Church
