Ash Wednesday
Mass Times 6:30am • 12:30pm • 7:30pm
Day of fast and abstinence.
As we begin this Lenten season, let us also remember that the Lord calls us to love him with all our hearts, with all our soul, with all our mind and to love our neighbour. Our observance of Lent should lead us towards others as well.
This year, Ash Wednesday – the first day of Lent – falls on 14 February. The act of putting on ashes symbolises our mortality and our dependence on God’s mercy, and reminds us of the attitude of penance to which we are called during Lent. The smudge of ash on our foreheads speaks to our yearning to grow closer to Christ, knowing that in him there is eternal life.
