Our observance of Lent begins tomorrow with Ash Wednesday, a day of fast and abstinence. The imposition of ashes replicates an ancient penitential practice and symbolizes our dependence upon God's mercy and forgiveness. We are reminded to "Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel."

Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation, but Catholics are encouraged to attend Mass to begin their Lenten journey. Ash Wednesday Mass times can be found on the Worship page of the parish website or by clicking the button below.

Lent in 3 Minutes

What is Lent all about? Why do Christians receive ashes on Ash Wednesday? Why 40 days? In a new version of Busted Halo's classic video (with a bonus extra minute -- because there’s a lot happening here!), Busted Halo explains the significance of this season of prayer, fasting, and giving, and how you can make the most of this time of repentance and renewal.
