February 22 is Ash Wednesday which marks the start of Lent, a time of reflection and contemplation. The Ashes we receive on our foreheads remind us that we are “dust and to dust we shall return”. They are a solemn and comforting reminder that there are other pilgrims with us on this journey. While some may associate the time of Lent with penitence, it is also a time of deepening our connection with God. It is a time we intentionally open ourselves us to God as we patiently wait for the blessings of Easter.
We will offer the Imposition of Ashes on Wednesday, February 22 at 7 am, 12 pm, and 7 pm in our nave. All are welcome!
Blessings
