LENTEN REGULATIONS

  • Fasting:  Those 18 and not yet 60 are obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday  One main meal, two partial meals, and no snacks in between.

  • Abstinence:  Those 14 and over are obliged to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of Lent.

  • Please note:  Lent is a time for penance in recognition of past sins.  Since we are still not perfect, sometimes sinful, the bishops urge us to continue voluntarily what we were formerly obliged to do.  Lent is still Lent.
