Ash Wednesday: Leave the ‘Egypt’ of our hearts and return to God
One of the challenges we Catholics face is the way in which our liturgical calendar almost becomes like white noise.
Car Masses continue despite cold and snowy weather
When churches reopened for Masses last June, a handful of parishes with access to large parking lots got creative and started holding car Masses for those especially vulnerable to COVID-19. Despite the cold weather and lots of snow this year, those Masses continue to take place.
For Ash Wednesday, Vatican asks priests to 'sprinkle' ashes on heads
The Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments asked priests to take special anti-COVID-19 precautions this year when distributing ashes on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 17, including sprinkling ashes on the top of people's heads rather than using them to make a cross on people's foreheads.
Burning palms for Ash Wednesday
Father Michael Grzesik and Deacon Mark Buckley led a prayer service including burning palms with students from St. Bede School at Our Lady of the Lakes Parish, St. Bede Church Site, in Ingleside on Shrove Tuesday, March 5, 2019. The ashes were distributed on Ash Wednesday, March 6, 2019, which marked the start of Lent in the Latin-rite church.
