Catholic Church Guidelines for Lent
1. FASTING – all persons between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. This generally means having one full meal and two smaller meals for the day.
2. ABSTINENCE – all persons who are fourteen years of age and older are obliged to abstain from meat and poultry on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent.
3. THE EASTER DUTY – all Catholics are obliged to receive Holy Communion at least once a year, from the First Sunday of Lent until Trinity Sunday. Catholics are required to confess their sins at least once a year, if they have committed a serious sin during that time.
