Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the holy season of Lent—a time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as we prepare our hearts for Easter. All are invited to join us as we receive ashes, a sign of humility and repentance, reminding us of our need for God’s mercy and grace. Whether Lent is familiar to you or you are just beginning again, this is a beautiful opportunity to pause, reflect, and start fresh with the Lord. Everyone is welcome.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all victims and families impacted by this heinous shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. May the darkness of sin and the night of unbelief vanish before the light of the Word and the Spirit of grace, and may the Heart of Jesus live in the hearts of all people. Amen

"As a Church, we are following the tragic news from Annunciation School in Minneapolis with heartbreaking sadness. Whenever one part of the Body of Christ is wounded, we feel the pain as if it were our very own children. Let us all beg the Lord for the protection and healing of the entire Annunciation family, entrusting them to the loving embrace of our Blessed Mother. "

- Archbishop William E. Lori, Vice President of the USCCB
