Tonight
Tuesday, March 5, 6:00 p.m.
St. Mary's Parish Hall
Shrove Tuesday, or Mardi Gras ("Fat Tuesday"), has become associated with excess--a last fling before the penitential season of Lent begins. Pancake suppers are an opportunity to use up the last of the winter supplies of these things, which in earlier times would have been running low by now anyway.
The clergy of the parish will be cooking pancakes for you tonight at 6:00 p.m. Come hungry and ready to eat!
Side note from Fr. Charles:
the Reception Committee is rather amused at the thought of the clergy in the kitchen. While we may not have their gourmet cooking skills, I hope we can manage to make some pancakes without burning the place down!

7:00 p.m. Solemn High Mass and Imposition of Ashes with Choir

Wednesdays during Lent
Beginning March 13, 2019
Stations of the Cross, 6:00 p.m.
Adult Formation and Light Soup Dinner at 6:30 p.m.
The Adult Formation will last about 40 minutes and will focus on the
Way of Love
. More than a program or curriculum, the Way of Love is an intentional commitment to a set of practices. It's a commitment to follow Jesus: turn, learn, pray, worship, bless, go, rest. Stay tuned for more!
