ASH WEDNESDAY MASSES 7:00 AM — 12:00 Noon — 7:00 PM
The ceremony of the ashes is the penitential rite at Mass, which on Ash Wednesday takes place after the homily in response to the word of God.
Ash Wednesday is a day of fast and abstinence.
FASTING AND ABSTINENCE TRADITIONS During Lent, the following fasting and abstinence rules are observed: Abstinence from meat is observed on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all the Fridays of Lent by all Catholics 14 years of age and older. Poultry and meat resulting from the slaughter of mammals is considered “meat”. Therefore, chicken, pork, beef, and lamb are considered “meat” and may not be eaten . Fish, eggs, shellfish, and cold-blooded animals are not considered “meat”. Fasting is observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age and older but not yet 59. Those bound by this rule may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted as necessary to maintain strength according to one’s needs, but eating solid foods is not permitted. (NOTE: Both fasting and abstinence apply only to those who will not be harmed in any manner by obedience to the dietary prescription. If you have low blood sugar, diabetes, or are taking treatments that require the intake of food or protein, you are fully absolved from any obligation to adhere to these regulations.)
