When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal.  In addition, all Catholics over the age of 14 are required to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of Lent.  Any Catholic who is dealing with illness is not required to fast or abstain.

AID TO THE CHURCH IN CENTRAL & EASTERN EUROPE

Our special collection on Ash Wednesday supports the Church in Central and Eastern Europe. Communism in this region fell more than 30 years ago, but the Church still struggles to rebuild after decades of oppressive rule. Under communism, religion and religious practices were openly persecuted, and atheism was actively propagated and enforced. Your support of this collection aids vital aspects of Church life throughout the region. You support seminary programs, promote ministries and education for children and families, rebuild churches, and renew community life. Please be generous and prayerfully consider how you can support this collection today.
