Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, while not a Holy Day of Obligation, is a day that we Catholics traditionally come to church to receive ashes on our foreheads, to remind us of our mortality, and to redirect our lives toward Christ, and recommit ourselves to his Gospel. The schedule for services on Ash Wednesday will be: 12:15 pm – Communion Service with Distribution of Ashes 6:00 pm – Mass with Distribution of Ashes 7:15 pm – Mass in Spanish with Distribution of Ashes
