Palms for Ashes Don't forget to return your old palms this weekend, so that they may be burned to make the ashes for Ash Wednesday. There will be a basket provided in the narthex to collect the palms.
Ash Wednesday Masses There will be two Parish Masses on Ash Wednesday (22 February): 8am and 6pm.
Ash Wednesday is a Day of Fast and Abstinence
All who have completed their 18th year and have not yet begun their 60th year are bound to fast. All who have completed their 14th year are bound to abstain from meat (anyone who is sick or infirm is not obliged by these laws).
