St. Patrick’s Day, one of the biggest days of the year for drinking and partying, coincides with the religious observance of Lent.
St. Patrick's Day, one of the biggest days of the year for drinking and partying, coincides with the religious observance of Lent. But don't worry — Boston's archbishop has granted Catholics the day off from their religious duties in order to celebrate Friday., the death anniversary of the patron saint of both Ireland and the Archdiocese of Boston.
The corned beef poses a problem for those observing Lent, the period of preparation and fasting that occurs in the 40 days leading up to Easter. Catholics are supposed to observe meatless Fridays, but Boston Archbishop Seán Patrick O'Malley religious leaders are granting them a day off in honor of St. Patrick.
"Given the importance of this feast in the life of the Archdiocese and in the lives of many Catholics, Cardinal Seán is granting a dispensation from the Friday Lenten abstinence on March 17, 2023, to those who wish to take advantage of this opportunity. This is a one day only dispensation," read the statement, released Tuesday.
