Ash Wednesday & Lent

Ash Wednesday is February 17. Masses are at 7:30 AM, 9:00 AM, and 7:00PM. There is a service of the word at 12:15PM with distribution of ashes. The words usually used for each person receiving ashes will be said once for everybody and the ashes will be sprinkled on the top of the head instead of the usual smearing with the thumb.
