FASTING AND ABSTINENCE

Fridays of Lent  are days of abstinence. ABSTINENCE  is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On days of abstinence, no meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige.

When in doubt concerning fast and abstinence, please consult with Fr. Devine or Fr. Rodrigo. Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit of penance and of preparation for baptism or of renewal of baptism at Easter.
