February 22 is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten season in the Christian faith. Receiving blessed ashes on our forehead is an outward sign that we belong to God - that we are part of something bigger, something holy, and that we believe in the life and light of Christ. Lent is about being transformed and made new. Lent is a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to prepare for the Holy Triduum and Easter Sunday. 

On Ash Wednesday, we invite you to join us in the Carlino Chapel:

• 12:00-12:40pm – Ash Wednesday Mass with Distribution of Ashes 
• 2:00-2:30pm – Prayer Service with Distribution of Ashes 
• 5:00-5:30pm – Drop-In for Personal Prayer and Distribution of Ashes 

We encourage these opportunities for prayer, service, and healing this Lenten Season: 

• Lenten Journey with the Sisters of St. Joseph, cmeighan@ssjphila.org
• Love in the Neighborhood Spring Break Service March 8-10, brunof@chc.edu  
• Daily Mass Tuesdays and Thursdays & Reconciliation, mulliganr1@chc.edu  
• Individual Spiritual Direction & Small Reflection Groups, newnsj@chc.edu
