Ash Wednesday

February 17th – Mass & ashes at 8:15a.m., 12:00noon, 5:30p.m., and 7p.m. (Spanish Mass)

The Congregation for Divine Worship has released a note laying out the procedures priests around the world are to follow for the distribution of ashes at the start of Lent.  The priest will bless the ashes and sprinkle them with holy water in silence, and then recite once the formula found in the Roman Missal: “Repent, and believe in the Gospel”.  At that point, he will cleanse his hands, put on a face mask, and distribute ashes by sprinkling them silently on each person’s head.
