Lent is on the horizon. Ash Wednesday is February 22. Each year, the elementary school students gather for a palm burning ceremony on the day before Ash Wednesday. The ashes from the palms are used in the Ash Wednesday Masses. You are invited to bring in any blessed palms that you may have from Palm Sunday and place them in the basket in the gathering space. Please drop them off by February 20.
