The season of Lent begins with the ancient practice of marking the baptized with ashes as a public and communal sign of penance. On Ash Wednesday, Mass will be celebrated at: 8 am and 12 noon In addition, our Holy Hour of Eucharistic Adoration will be from 7 to 8 pm on March 2nd. After Mass, parishioners will be invited to take home a small bag with blest ashes to use for oneself and family members. Included with the ashes will be a card with the formula for administering ashes. Blest ashes will be available in the church throughout the day.
