As a Catholic, basically you’re required to live a Christian life, pray daily, participate in the sacraments, obey the moral law, and accept the teachings of Christ and his Church. Following are the minimum requirements for Catholics:
-
Attend Mass every Sunday and holy day of obligation.
-
Go to confession annually if not more often or when needed.
-
Receive Holy Communion during Easter. Receiving weekly or daily is encouraged, though.
-
Observe laws on fasting and abstinence: one full meal on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday; not eating meat on Fridays during Lent.
-
Obey the marriage laws of the Church.
-
Support the Church financially and otherwise.
