WELCOME!!!!
Abstinence from meat on Ash Wednesday and the Fridays of Lent (for those 14 and older) is
required by Church law. Also, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fasting: those
between the ages of 18 and 59 should eat less, meaning, take no solid food between meals and
only one full meal that day. Serious health conditions excuse a person from these precepts.
Pastors and parents are encouraged by the law of the Church to ensure that minors who are not
bound by the law of fast and abstinence are educated nonetheless in an authentic sense of
penance.
Following the implementation of the revised Code of Canon Law on November 27, 1983, the
National Conference of Catholic Bishops in the United States determined that the rules of fast
and abstinence which have existed for the last several years in this country be
maintained. Namely, that the faithful observe suitable penitential practices on all Fridays
throughout the year. These penitential practices need not include abstaining from meat.
However, as indicated above, the faithful must not eat meat on all the Fridays of Lent as well as
on Ash Wednesday. They must also observe faithfully the fast regulations as they have been
stated above in accord with the universal law of the Church (Cf. Code of Canon Law, Canons
1250-1252)
