Shrove Tuesday/Ashes to Go Request
Due to the fact that many parishes offer Shrove Tuesday activities, the
e-bulletin will link to a page on the Diocesan website which will list the various events, rather than having each as an individual post. We would also like to compile a list of parishes offering Ashes to Go (for the website and a press release). To be included in the press release, please send any information regarding your Ashes to Go event to Jessica Rocha at
jrocha@dohio.org
by February 25

Deacon Lydia Bailey will be facilitating a Lenten Art Retreat at the Cleveland Museum of Art on Wednesday,
March 13 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. It will be a semi-self-directed Lenten retreat involving the participant's reflection on one or two pieces of art. The retreat leader will prepare participants for choosing a piece of art for personal reflection. The art one settles on can speak to us spiritually without having a conventional religious subject. It can be an icon that serves as a window into God.
This retreat has been offered to different parishes for five years; this year it will be with participants from St. Christopher's, Gates Mills. There is no cost to the workshop. The museum opens at 10:00 a.m. and the retreat will convene under the bamboo trees in the Atrium shortly thereafter.
