Abstinence -- Catholics over 14 years of age are bound to the obligation of abstinence. Abstinence is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays of Lent. On days of abstinence, meat may not be used at all.

Fast -- Catholics over 18 and up to the beginning of their 60th year are bound to the obligation of fasting. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are the days of fasting. On these days, only one full meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed.

Commendable, particularly during Lent, is generosity to local, national and world programs of sharing our abundance.

Watch video:  "Why  Don't Catholics Eat Meat on Fridays During Lent?"

During Lent confessions can be heard on Wednesday evenings, 6:30pm until 8:00pm at St. Athanasius.

Confessions are also heard on Saturdays from 2:45pm until 3:45pm at St. Athanasius.
