This year the collection taken at all Ash Wednesday Masses will be used to support Archdiocesan Social Ministries.

Please be assured of my deepest gratitude for your strong support of this important collection. With prayerful best wishes for a truly spiritual Lenten season, I am Fraternally in Christ, Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston – Houston.

5. PENITENTIAL PRACTICES
Ash Wednesday and Good Fridayare days of fast and abstinence.
Fridays of Lentare days ofabstinence.
Fasting binds all persons who have completed their 18th birthday through those who have completed their 59th year, unless prevented by poor health. On days of fast, one full meal is allowed. Two other meals sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to one's own needs. Eating between meals is not allowed although fluids may be taken.
Abstinence binds all persons who have completed their 14th birthday, unless prevented by poor health. On days of abstinence during Lent, the consumption of meat of mammals or fowl is not allowed. The Church strongly encourages the observance of Friday abstinence throughout the year, but failure to do so is not regarded as sinful.
