Either one of these formulas are used as the ashes are placed on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday. Ashes will be administered on Wednesday at the 7:30 AM and the 6:30 PM Masses at St. Anthony’s, and at the 11:00 AM Mass at Our Lady of the Hills.
 
Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the special season of Lent, a time of grace, a time for us to grow in our love of God and our love of neighbor through prayer, fasting and almsgiving (works of mercy). Make this a good Lent. Pray as you never prayed, fast, make sacrifices, perform acts of charity and go out of your way to help others.
 
The annual Fish Fry dinners will be held at St. Anthony’s on the Fridays of Lent, starting this Friday, March 7 and ending on Friday, April 11 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Come and enjoy a delicious fish dinner!
 
Stations of the Cross will be prayed in St. Anthony’s Church at 5:00 PM on the Friday’s of Lent and at Our Lady of the Hills, Wednesdays, March 12 through April 9 at 6:00 p.m.
 
Remember Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are fast days (three meals and no eating in between meals) and Ash Wednesday and the Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence (no meat).
