LENTEN SCHEDULES AND GUIDELINES

Ash Wednesday, March 5, and Good Friday, April 18, 

are days of fasting and abstinence.  

Fridays of Lent are also days of abstinence.

The norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. 

When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal,

 as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal.

The norms concerning abstinence from meat

Church law does not oblige.
