CHICAGO - The Lenten season, which began on March 5, is a 40-day period of reflection, prayer, and fasting leading up to Easter.

During Lent, many Catholics abstain from eating meat on Fridays to honor the sacrifice of Christ.

Fish Frys have become a popular tradition, providing a community gathering spot and a meat-free meal option.

The Archdiocese of Chicago is keeping this tradition alive with Fish Frys hosted at various parishes throughout the area. Events will take place on Fridays from March 7 through April 11, 2025.
