Today is the 13th day of the calendar month falling on a Friday. Many cultures consider the combination as something evil. The superstition seems to relate to various things, like the story of Jesus' last supper and crucifixion in which there were 13 individuals present in the Upper Room on the 13th of Nisan Maundy Thursday, the night before his death on Good Friday (Courtesy: [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th#Christian_associations)) .
Surely the Catholic Church is aware that many of her followers are victims of the superstition. One gets to hear priests speaking against superstitions like the one involving Friday the 13th. One also gets to read about them.
**My question is**: Has the Catholic Church officially denounced the superstition involving Friday the 13th?
