St. Thomas More will still be celebrating Mass and distributing Ashes at 6:30 pm tonight. But please remember a few things as you consider whether or not to go out in the weather to attend:
- Ash Wednesday is not a holy day of obligation.
- Since ashes are imposed on Ash Wednesday, as a sign of the beginning of the Lenten Season, the Bishop has given us permission for ashes to be administered this Friday (February 24) only, using a simplified rite. Ashes are not to be imposed on any other day, especially Sunday. We will be distributing Ashes this Friday at our 7 am Mass.
Due to the ongoing weather conditions, we will be CANCELING the 7am Mass on Thursday, February 23. The parish office will be closed for the day.
May God bless you and guide you as we begin this season of lent.
