Feb. 23: Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament
2009-02-23 18:10 - 2009-02-24 00:10 UTC
It is traditional before Lent begins to have the devotion of 40 hours of silent adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament in reparation for the excesses of Carnival. We will begin modestly this year with six hours. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will follow the 12:10pm Mass, beginning 6 hours of adoration ending with Benediction at 6:00pm. Please sign up at the entrance of church if you plan to attend, so we can ensure someone will be present at all times. We need at least two people signing up for each hour.

Masses for Feb. 25: Ash Wednesday

Low Mass at 12:00pm; High Mass at 6:00pm. Rules for Fasting during Lent.

Ash Wednesday is from a liturgical point of view one of the most important days of the year. In the first place this day opens the liturgical season of Lent, which formerly began with the First Sunday and comprised only thirty-six days. The addition of Wednesday and the three following days brought the number to forty, which is that of our Lord's fast in the desert.
