Mass Times for Ash Wednesday 9:00 am and 7:00 pm
There will be distribution of ashes only at Swasey Chapel at 12:15 pm.
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.
The norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding from age 14 onwards. -USCCB
