2023 Fish Fries in the Diocese of Owensboro
Editor’s note: Canons 1250 and 1251 state that all Fridays are days of penance in the Catholic Church. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops requests that Catholics abstain from meat on Fridays during Lent, and practice some form of penance on the other Fridays throughout the year. Due to fish being a popular Lenten Friday option in this part of the world, the tradition of Friday fish fries has become a common activity for many communities. Below is information for the 2023 fish fries offered within the Diocese of Owensboro, provided by the parishes and local community organizations.
All questions about the individual fish fries should be directed to the parishes and organizations at the contact information listed for each.
