So, a bit of a last-minute question. This morning Kieran received an invite to a neighbourhood child's birthday party, which is happening later today. I was wondering, then, about what is proper for it being a Friday during Lent. Thanks!

In my personal opinion, trying to use reason here, because Kieran is far too young to really understand the concept of Lent and especially the concept of abstaining from meat on Fridays, I believe it would be okay. I would say that once children reach an age where they can comprehend what Lent is then I would refraining from parties during Lent, unless it's on a Sunday.

So, I would say because of Kieran's age, I believe it would be perfectly okay. Now if he were older and understood Lent then I would say no.


Hope this helps!

God Bless,
Jennie
