Lenten Observances
Norms for Fasting
and Abstaining from Meat
Fasting
In the dioceses in the United States,
Catholics aged 18 through 59 are bound to fast on both Ash Wednesday (February 14) and Good Friday (March 29). To fast means to consume one full meal a day at
most, although taking of other, smaller quantities of food at the other
customary mealtimes is permitted. Food and drink between meals (excepting water
and medicine) is not permitted on fast days.
Abstinence from Meat
Catholics aged 14 and up are to
abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, all Fridays of Lent, and Good Friday. To
abstain means refraining from eating beef, veal, pork or poultry at least,
although eggs and milk products are acceptable. The consumption of fish and
shellfish is permitted, though the penitential character of the abstinence
should be kept in mind.
Excused from Fasting and
Abstinence from Meat
Those who
are excused from fast and abstinence outside the age limits include the
physically or mentally ill including individuals suffering from chronic
illnesses such as diabetes. Also excluded are pregnant or nursing women. In all
cases, common sense should prevail, and ill persons should not further
jeopardize their health by fasting.

p.m. to 7 p.m. Beginning at 7 p.m. we will pray the Scriptural Way
of the Cross devotion. This unique approach to the Way of the Cross is

Taizé music as well as other refrains sung in a Taizé style. These
evenings conclude with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
