 “Repent and believe in the Gospel.” 

Ash Wednesday

Ashes will be distributed with adapted safety precautions in the chapel on Wednesday.

What will you fast from and feast on this Lent?

 

Adapted from "A Prayer for Ash Wednesday" by Joseph Nassal, CPPS

 
Patrick's reflection on the importance of fasting this Lenten season.
 
Coming Up...
 
Reflect With Us
 
"I thought about what it must have felt like to be an outcast with an illness I have no control over. Maybe feeling hurt, maybe feeling helpless, and maybe feeling hopeless.  It is a part of human nature to feel these things when life seems unbearable. But given time, your creator is will see you through and bring healing just as Jesus did for the leper." Read Ashley's full reflection here. 
 
\ "Sometimes people think they have to do big things in order to make change. But if each one would light a candle, we'd have a tremendous light."
- Servant of God Thea Bowman
