Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain has granted this one-day dispensation from the normal obligation to abstain from meat during the Fridays of Lent. The feast day of the popular Irish saint falls on Friday, March 17 this year, the third Friday in Lent. Typical Irish dishes enjoyed on the holiday are meat heavy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe archbishop encourages anyone who wishes to take advantage of this dispensation to abstain from meat on another day of that week, or to substitute abstinence from meat with a personal penitential act offered for the success of the proclamation of the Gospel in western Washington, in honor of St. Patrick,\u201d according to the March 2 announcement from the archbishop\u2019s office, which was sent to all pastors, parish administrators and pastoral coordinators.<\/p>\n

So local Catholics aren\u2019t completely off the hook.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
