Ash Wednesday

The church begins the season of Lent on February 17, with the celebration of Ash Wednesday. Lent is the season in which the church prepares to celebrate the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This time of preparation focuses on three spiritual disci- plines: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. The Church turns her focus to penance and to the good works of mercy, justice, and peace. The students will attend mass virtually on Ash Wednesday and the teachers will begin instruction on the meaning of Lent.
