Mass for Ash Wednesday will be celebrated March 5 at noon on the McNichols Campus in the St. Ignatius Chapel, located in the Commerce & Finance Building. The distribution of ashes will take place during the Mass. All are invited to attend.
Catholics traditionally mark this day by fasting and abstaining from meat. They mark their forehead with ashes as a sign of repentance and turning their hearts towards God. This date begins the season of Lent, a time of contrition and renewal leading up to Easter.
