Begin your Lenten journey by receiving ashes on Ash Wednesday.  The ashes symbolize the dust from which God made us.  As we receive the ashes, the priest says, "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."  The ashes are made from the blessed palms used on Palm Sunday last year.  Ashes will be distributed on Wednesday, March 1, as follows:
7:00 AM  Nativity
8:00 AM  St Mary
7:00 PM  St Mary
7:00 PM  Nativity
Join us on this day of penitential prayer and fasting.
