Happy St. Patrick's Day! 

#StPatrick is the patron saint of Ireland! 🇮🇪 

A reminder that Bishop Vann announces that today, all Catholics of the Diocese of Orange, no matter where they may be, and all other Catholics present in the Diocese of Orange on that day are dispensed from the obligation to abstain from eating meat (cf. canon 87 § 1).

While no one is required to make use of this dispensation, those who do so must abstain from meat on another day (not on a Sunday or Friday) during the Lenten season.

St. Patrick, pray for us! ☘️

It’s not too late to make the rest of Lent count!
 
Fr. Eugene encourages us to use the Lenten season and practices (like prayer, fasting, and almsgiving) as a time for “purification and enlightenment.”
