The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has granted a dispensation to Catholics allowing them to eat meat on St. Patrick's Day, which falls on a Friday during Lent, a day when Catholics are not supposed to eat meat. However, Catholics are encouraged to give up something else. All of New Jersey's dioceses are also making the exception.
