No advance registration or admittance fee required Fasting and Abstinence Lenten Mission March 16th, 17th, & 18th at 6:30 pm each evening Rev. Clint Trahan, Celebrant Mass with an elongated homily Ash Wednesday & Good Friday are days of both abstinence (all Catholics 14 years or older abstain from eating meat) and fasting (Catholics between 18 and 59 years are obliged to partake of only one full meal). Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence only. Ash Wednesday is 46 days before Easter, but Lent is considered 40 days long, because Sundays are not counted as days of Lent. The reason? Fasting is considered inappropriate on Sunday, the day commemorating the resurrection of Jesus.
