Are Lenten penances lifted on Sundays?

[delburgess05]

My uncle, a priest, used to tell me that even if I gave up chocolate during Lent, I’m allowed to have it on Sundays in Lent because Sunday is always a day of celebration of the Lord’s Resurrection. Is this true?

Annette - Thanks for taking my question.
