The Ash Wednesday Mass with the imposition of ashes will be at 10:00 am, (with sacred Heart School’s KS2 pupils). Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting (one full meal) and day of abstinence (no meat).
Pope Francis has asked for Ash Wednesday to be a particular day of prayer for the people of Ukraine: “I encourage believers in a special way to dedicate themselves intensely to prayer and fasting on that day. May the Queen of Peace preserve the world from the madness of war,” he said.
