Lenten Disciplines of Fasting & Abstinence
Thursday, March 6, 2025
Catholics in good health ages 18 to 59 are required to fast and abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
Fasting consists of eating only one meal, with the possibility of two smaller snacks that do not add up to a single full meal.
Catholics age 14 and older are to abstain from meat on all Fridays in Lent.
