Ash Wednesday

Posted on January 29, 2021 (February 18, 2021) by Karen Pells

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, 2/17 – a day of fast and abstinence.

The distribution of ashes at the following Liturgy of the Word Services and Masses will look different this year. All those receiving ashes are asked to approach the priest or deacon, while wearing a mask, and then bow slightly as the ashes are sprinkled over your head.

Liturgy of the Word Services will take place at 7 AM and 12 N.

Masses will be celebrated at 8:30 AM, 4:00 PM and 7PM Bilingual Mass.

RESERVATIONS ARE NEEDED FOR ASH WEDNESDAY MASSES (not Ash Wednesday services).

Please call the parish office at (609) 927-3568, ext. 25 for reservations, beginning February 1st.
