Lent vs St. Patrick's Day



Ah…to be truly Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. But what of Catholics, who must abstain from eating meat on Fridays during Lent? You might just get a break, depending on where you live.

Corned Beef and Cabbage is just fine in The Philadelphia Archdiocese as well as churches governed in Wilmington and Allentown.
A special St. Patrick’s Day dispensation’s been issued.

But in the Trenton Diocese, it’s up to the pastor in each church. And in the Diocese of Camden, you need a letter from the Bishop.
