FASTING GUIDELINES
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025. It signals the beginning of the penitential season leading up to Palm Sunday the beginning of Holy Week. Everyone is encouraged to attend daily Mass, receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, attend the Stations of the Cross, engage in works of charity and justice, and undertake acts of self-denial.
The following are the guidelines of Lenten observance:
• Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence.
• Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence.
• Fasting binds all persons who have completed their 18th birthday through those who have completed their 59th year, unless prevented by poor health.
• On days of fast, one full meal is allowed. Two other meals sufficient to maintain strength may be taken according to one’s own needs.
• Eating between meals is not allowed although fluids may be taken.
• Abstinence binds all persons who have completed their 14th birthday, unless prevented by poor health. On days of abstinence, the consumption of meat is not allowed. The Church strongly encourages the observance of Friday abstinence, but failure to do so is not regarded as sinful.
