Fasting & Abstinence from the Archdiocese of Seattle
For this penitential season, the Church draws on the wisdom of the Scriptures and tradition in suggesting a time of intense prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
Catholics in the United States are obliged to abstain on all Fridays during the season of Lent. Catholics are also obliged to fast on Good Friday, March 29.
Fasting
On a day of fasting, one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one's needs, but they should not equal the other full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices, are permitted. The obligation of fasting binds Catholics who are 18-59 years old.
Abstinence
On days of abstinence, eating meat is not allowed. The obligation of abstinence applies to those 14 years and older. The law does not oblige when health or ability to work would be seriously affected.

Lenten Devotional
Saint Patrick Catholic School created a special Lenten Devotional to share with your family. Inside is a collection of reflections— one for each day of Lent from the Saint Patrick Catholic School community members.

CRS Rice Bowl
Join nearly 13,000 Catholic communities across the United States in a transformative Lenten journey with CRS Rice Bowl.
In Akwangagwel, Uganda, the climate is scorching and dry. Farmers in this region depend heavily on the rainy season for a successful harvest. But lately, due to the changing climate, the rain has been coming later than it used to and is inconsistent. When it does rain, it sometimes causes flooding and ruins crops.
Hit the play button above to learn how Adolf and Florence have taken the matter into their own hands, implementing new farming techniques they learned from a Catholic Relief Services program to improve their farm and fight against hunger in their community.
Turn Lenten fasting into a work of Christian love with the Rice Bowl. Make the Rice Bowl your table centerpiece, and then put into it each day or week the money you have saved by eating a little more simply than usual.
You can pick up your family's CRS Rice Bowl at Mass. During the 40 days of Lent, we reflect on the impact of global hunger and climate change on vulnerable communities worldwide, and we will pray, fast, and give alms to help our sisters and brothers in need.
75% of donations aid international hunger relief, while 25% returns to the Seattle Archdiocese through grants.

Walk to Calvary with Jesus
The Health Ministry's annual Meatless Fridays in Lent campaign starts on the first Friday of Lent and ends on Good Friday.
It's a beautiful way to improve not only your spiritual well-being but also your health. The Health Ministry invites you to try a new, tasty meatless recipe each week and recommends that you take a healthful walk of at least 1/3 of a mile each Sunday to commemorate the distance Jesus walked on his journey to Calvary and reflect on the Prayer for Sundays during Lent during your walk.
A Chance to Win
Everyone who goes meatless on all Fridays in Lent is eligible for a chance to win a $100 Metropolitan Market gift card courtesy of the Health Ministry.
Meatless Recipes
We'll share meatless recipes from the Metropolitan Market selected by the Health Ministry each week.
Check out the recipe for the following Friday in Lent. Shop for ingredients this weekend so you're ready.
