This year Lent begins on Wednesday, February 22 (Ash Wednesday). The 40 days of Lent are a special time of spiritual renewal in the Church. The parish will have three Masses on Ash Wednesday with the distribution of Ashes. These will be at 12:30 pm, 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm in the Church. During Lent the Stations of the Cross will be prayed Friday evenings in the Church after the 5:00 pm Mass.
