If you have not already done so, remember to fast and abstain this Friday for the Solemnity of St. Joseph, which falls on Saturday, March 19.

Tomorrow on Thursday, March 17 would not be allowed as a day of fast and abstinence as St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated as a Solemnity in the Diocese of Sacramento, for he is the co-patron of the diocese, our Lady of Guadalupe being the other co-patron.
