Lent begins

Ash Wednesday,

and marks the beginning of the Journey of Forty days (not counting Sundays and ending on Holy Thursday) in preparation for Easter.  Ashes will be distributed that day at:

Immaculate Conception Church:

Ash Wednesday is a day of abstinence from meat and limited to one full meal.  The Fridays of Lent are also days of abstinence from meat.  All those fourteen years of age are bound to the law of abstinence.  The law of fast binds all who are eighteen years old and not yet fifty-nine years old.

Let us come together and pray that this Lent will make a real difference in our lives.
