The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has set up a web page to help prepare you to answer some common questions you might encounter on Ash Wednesday

“During Lent, when your friends or co-workers express curiosity about Catholic customs and symbolism, use those moments as opportunities to evangelize!  Following are six common questions Catholics hear during Lent and some evangelizing answers.”

Click here to visit the web page and view the questions and answers.

Join us tomorrow for Ash Wednesday as we begin our Lenten journey. Masses with distribution of ashes will be celebrated at 8:00 a.m. (with our school children in attendance), 12:15 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

A Word Service with distribution of ashes will be celebrated at 5:00 p.m.

Until then, Happy Fat Tuesday!
