San Antonio Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller has granted Catholics a dispensation from abstaining of eating meat on Friday, March 18.
– San Antonio Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller has granted Catholics in the archdiocese a dispensation from abstaining from eating meat today.
According to a letter, the archbishop said he is granting the dispensation due to the date falling in between two important Catholic feast days -- St. Patrick’s Day and the Solemnity of St. Joseph. “Since the observance of these feast days are observed near a Friday, the celebrations may include events and celebratory gatherings on Friday, March 18. Therefore, in response to the faithful who have asked for a dispensation from the Friday Lenten abstinence, I hereby dispense Catholics in the Archdiocese of San Antonio from the obligation of abstinence on Friday, March 18, 2022. I happily do so,” Garcia-Siller said.
Catholics during Lent are obligated to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and Fridays, including Good Friday. The archbishop said that Catholics should consider making a donation to a food pantry in light of people around the world who are hungry or don’t have enough to eat.
