Ash Wednesday is on February 22nd. We begin Lent with the Imposition of Ashes at our Sung Mass at 10.00 a.m.

A Prayer for Ash Wednesday
Merciful God,
Look upon us as we enter these Forty Days,
bearing the mark of ashes,
and bless our journey through the desert of Lent.
May our fasting be hunger for justice;
our alms, a making of peace;
our prayer, the chant of humble and grateful hearts.
All that we do and pray is in the name of Jesus,
for in his cross you proclaim your love
for ever and ever.
Amen.
