Lenten Fast Dispensation Granted by San Antonio Diocese
Archbishop Robert Lucey has granted a wartime dispensation from fasting and abstinence for Catholics in the San Antonio Diocese, covering 38 000 square miles of South Texas. Abstinence from meat on Fridays remains, and fasting and abstinence apply on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. The measure cites stress from rationing and many Catholic fathers and sons in the area serving in the armed forces, urging mortification, charity, and prayers for victory and peace.
