The season of Lent begins on Wednesday, March 6. Lent is a time to step back and to see how we can better reflect a spirit of prayer, penance (conversion) and charity throughout our lives. There will be booklet on the tables in the church listing the services and faith formation opportunities that will be offered throughout the season, as well as guidelines for fasting and abstinence. On Ash Wednesday, we will distribute ashes within the 9:00 A.M., and 7:00 P.M. Masses and the 12:00 and 4:00 P.M. Services of the Word.
