This is Episode 119 of the A Catholic Life Podcast. In today’s episode, we’re diving into an important question that many traditional Catholics are asking this year: "Does Friday, July 4th, 2025, require abstinence from meat?" But we will also cover the importance of Ss. Peter and Paul’s Day as well.
- Is Abstinence Required on Civil Holidays?
- The Solemnity of Ss. Peter and Paul’s History as a Holy Day of Obligation
- Devotions in Honor of the Precious Blood for July
- Customs in Honor of the Feast of the Most Precious Blood
- Within the Octave of Ss. Peter and Paul
