Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent and is a day of universal fasting and abstinence.
The following church regulations are observed throughout the season of Lent:
Abstinence from meat is observed on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all the Fridays during Lent by Catholics of 14 years of age and older.
All Catholics who are at least 18 years of age but not yet 59 years of age observe fasting on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Those bound by this rule may eat only one full meal.
Two smaller meals (that together are not equal to a full meal) are permitted as necessary to maintain strength according to personal needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted.
Those who are sick, pregnant, nursing, or with compromised health that would be adversely affected by fasting or abstinence should not consider themselves bound by these norms.
During the season of Lent, we are all called to embrace penance and perform works of charity and mercy that reflect our desire of a true conversion of heart. May this holy season of Lent 2025 lead all of us to a deeper union with Christ and with one another.
