Newspaper Page TextTWO THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA MARCH 16, 1957. DIOCESE OF ATLANTA LENTEN REGULATIONS FOR 1957 In accordance with the provisions of Canon Law, as modi fied through the use of special faculties granted by the Holy See, we herewith publish the following regulations: I. THE LAW OF ABSTINENCE Everyone over seven years of age is bound to observe the law of abstinence. Complete abstinence is to be observed on Ash Wednesday, March sixth, and on all Fridays. On days of complete abstinence meat and soup or gravy made from meat may NOT be used at all. Partial abstinence is to be observed on Ember Wednesday, March thirteenth. On a day of partial abstinence meat and soup or gravy made from meat may be taken only once at the prin cipal meal. II. THE LAW OF FAST Everyone over twenty-one and under fifty-nine years of age is also bound to observe the law of fast. With the exception of Saturday, March sixteenth, for which a dispensation has been granted in honor of St. Patrick, all weekdays of Lent, including Holy Saturday, are days of fast. On days of fast only one full meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain. strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs; but together they should not equal another full meal. Meat may be taken at the principal meal by all on all weekdays of Lent, except on Ash Wednesday and Fridays. Eating between meals is not permitted but liquids, includ ing milk and fruit juices, are allowed. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. In doubt concerning fast or abstinence, a parish priest or confessor should be consulted. We earnestly exhort the faithful during the Lenten season to attend daily Mass; to receive Holy Communion often; to take part more frequently in exercises of piety; to give generously to works of religion and charity; to perform acts of kindness toward the sick, the aged and the poor; to practice voluntary self-denial, especially regarding alcoholic drink and worldly amusements; and to pray more fervently, particularly for the intentions of the Holy Father. In your prayers and good works during the holy season of Lent, kindly remember the fallen-away Catholics of our diocese that they may return to the practice of the faith. Mission Art This 3-minute oil sketch by Father Patrick O'Donnell of the Glenmary Home Missioners of America, was done during intermission of the Home Mis sion Hop at St. William’s Audi torium, Cincinnati. This parti cular drawing was raffled off for benefit of American mis sions, while such drawings are usually given away by lot on the last night of tent preach ing missions in Dixie, during the summer. The Glenmary Home Missioners of Glendale, O., work in counties where there are few or no Catholics. (NC Photos) Atlanta Services For M. T. Bolitski ATLANTA, Ga.—Funeral serv ices for Mr. Michael T.
