ASH WEDNESNDAY, February 17
Holy Eucharist with Imposition of Ashes
7:30 a.m. (ashes only); noon, 6pm (Spanish) and 7:30 p.m.

The forty-day solemn season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, introducing the six-week time of repentance, amendment of life, and reflection on on what is truly important in our lives. The Imposition of Ashes on Ash Wednesday is a ancient practice and reminder that, "we are dust, and to dust we shall return." There are four opportunities to receive ashes this year:

7:30 am - Imposition of Ashes in the Chapel.
12:00 pm - Holy Eucharist and Imposition of Ashes, hymns and organ.
6:00 pm- Liturgia de Miércoles de Ceniza, in the Cathedral.
7:30 pm - Holy Eucharist and Imposition of Ashes, with the Cathedral Choir.

Week in and week out, Christians around the world recite the words of the centuries-old Nicene Creed. The affirmations of the creed form the foundational doctrines of Christianity.
