US requirements for Catholics fasting in Lent

@Chronos

I was not aware that it was possible for any Holy Day of Obligation to fall during Lent. Do you know of any examples? It is, however, common practice for bishops to grant exemptions on much-celebrated (though not obligatory) feasts such as St. Patrick’s and St. Joseph’s (Feb. 19).

As BobT points out, the Feast of St. Joseph is a Holy Day of Obligation, although in the US, we slide it to the nearest Sunday. But there are technically ten, not six, Holy Days.
