The annual Lenten insert is in this weekend’s bulletin.

While there is no Mardi Gras dinner celebration, we will pray Night Prayer at 5:30 PM and burn last year’s palm at 6:15 PM on the church plaza.

SEAS has a gift for Lent for you. Adults get a copy of the Magnificat Lenten Companion and kids receive a copy of ’40 Clues for 40 Days’ Lenten activity booklet.

This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. Ashes will be distributed during:

Mass at 6:30 AM, 9:00 AM, 7:30 PM;
Liturgy of the Word for adults at Noon
Liturgy of the Word for children at 5 PM for kids of all ages in the church.

Catholic Relief Services – Rice Bowl mite boxes available in the narthex. Take one home and fill it during Lent. It should be returned to the narthex no sooner than Holy Thursday.

Beginning this Friday and on all Fridays of Lent Stations of the Cross will be prayed at 7:30 PM in the church. This week’s Stations will be led by our Women’s Spirituality Group and Lazarus Ministry.

There are several versions of Stations of the Cross available near the Parish Prayer Book for you to come and privately pray the stations whenever the church is open. See the bulletin cover for hours.

There will be no Lenten simple supper this week. Our Knights of Columbus will decide soon if they are going to have one next Friday.
