This year Ash Wednesday is February 14th. This is the first day of Lent. When we receive ashes, it symbolizes repentance and reminds us of our own mortality. Lent is a season of Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. Masses and Ash Service WILL ALL BE IN THE CHURCH; 7am, 8:15am, 4:30pm (ashes only) and 7:00pm.
