Lent Fast and Abstinence Regulations
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of Fast and Abstinence. Fasting means one full meal and two snacks whenever that day. Abstinence means no consumption of meat. Meat is: beef, chicken or pork. All Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence (no meat). Everyone should try to participate in these Lenten regulations, regardless of age. Health reasons are a different matter. If there are medical concerns then please consult with your physician.
