St. Paul’s Family,
As we enter into February, we are rapidly approaching Lent. This year, Ash Wednesday falls on February 14. Please consider this a gentle reminder that although February 14 is also the feast of St. Valentine, it is replaced by the one of two major fasts—Ash Wednesday. There is no dispensation for Valentine’s Day—so hold off on the dinner and chocolate until Thursday! Like last year, we will offer two masses for Ash Wednesday. There will be 12:00 noon Mass with imposition of ashes but no homily. This service is geared towards those who may want to come in on their lunch break from work. The 7:00 pm service will be Eucharist with homily and imposition of ashes. If you are home bound and would like me to bring ashes to you, please let me know!
Starting on Friday, February 16 and going through March 22, there will be Stations of the Cross followed by Benediction at 7:00 pm in the Church. This year, the feast of St. Matthias the Apostle occurs on Saturday, February 24, and Mass will be held at 10:00 am in the Lady Chapel.
