We will also offer “drive-through” Distribution of Ashes in the North Parking Lot from 9:00-9:45am & 4:00-4:45 pm on Ash Wednesday. No reservations required.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Diocese of Joliet is requiring that "the Priest [or minister] takes the ashes and sprinkles them on the head of each one without saying anything. Only a small amount of ash is sprinkled by rubbing the thumb and fore finger together over the head of the recipient.”

(You can read more about the historical precedence for the custom of placing ashes on one's head at http://www.dioceseofjoliet.org/bishop/content1.php?secid=93)
