St. Patrick's Day Dispensation

This year St. Patrick's Day falls on Friday, March 17th. This feast day is celebrated in significant way throughout the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Therefore, Archbishop Hartmeyer has granted to all Catholics in the Archdiocese of Atlanta  a dispensation from the Discipline of Abstinence on that day!

So...go ahead and have that cheeseburger.  (But not during dinner because we totally expect to see you at the Fish Fry.)
