I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God’s holy Word. Book of Common Prayer (BCP), pg. 265.

Let us begin our Lenten pilgrimage together either on-site in person or virtually. There will be two services at the Cathedral on Ash Wednesday, each with the imposition of ashes and the Holy Eucharist:

• 12:10 p.m. — in-person and live-streamed, Bishop Deon presiding with a homily and music. Access the 12:10 p.m. livestream here.

• 6:30 p.m. — in-person and live-streamed, Dean Kathie presiding with a homily and music. Access the 6:30 p.m. livestream here.

If you are unable to make either of these times or you have persons at home who cannot make it, pick up Ashes to Go kits from Dean Kathie. Please let her know ahead of time so she can have one ready for pick up. Dean Kathie looks forward to this beginning to our Lenten journey together.
