#40DaysofMedia, day three.

Ah, the first Friday of Lent 2014. Fridays during the Lenten season are days in which we abstain from eating meat. Why meat? While there are many different reasons, I was always taught that meat was considered aluxury "back in the day" and being as the core focus of Lent is sacrifice, we are to abstain from eating it. We remember the sacrifice of Christ on Good Friday and unite ourselves with that sacrifice through abstinence and prayer.

Fish fries tend to pop up at local churches and organizations during the Lenten season. If you are in the Carmel area, here are a few parishes with fish fries:
-OLMC is offering fish fries on 3/14 and 3/28 in the parish hall (I have not been able to find the times as of yet, but probably 5:00-7:30 would be a safe bet).
-SMG is offering fish fries every Friday during Lent except for next Friday (3/14) from 4:30-7:30 in the parish hall.
-SEAS is offering fish fries on 3/7, 3/14, 3/21, 3/28, 4/4, and 4/11 from 5:00-7:30 in the social hall.
