What about practicing the Catholic faith in prison?

[ushldcallme]

if a catholic is incarcerated, is he still required to fast and abstain on the days designated by the church?

This link should answer your question about what the prisoners can do to practice their faith in prison. I’ve included some other links for people who are interested in evangelizing the imprisoned. You might also want to know that Catholic Answers has never turned down a request by prisoners for free literature, including subscriptions to Catholic Answers Magazine. If you have any further questions or concerns that are not answered by this link, please [contact Catholic Answers (http://www.catholic.com/home/contact.asp) directly. God bless you for your ministry!
