Ash Wednesday is March 2, which begins the 40-day solemn season of Lent.
Bishop Edward Malesic will celebrate noon Mass on Ash Wednesday in the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. Ashes will be distributed during Mass. The cathedral also will have Masses at 7:15 and 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. that day, and Stations of the Cross will be at 5:15 p.m. every Friday in Lent.
To mark the beginning of the upcoming Lenten season, the bishop released a short video, which can be viewed here. He also will have a daily reflection each day in Lent, as well as his Sunday Scripture reflection.
Once again, a special page has been prepared offering additional Lenten resources, including information on Stations of the Cross, Holy Week liturgies and more. Click here to access the resources.
