Lent Begins!

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, the Christian Church’s journey towards Easter, a journey that lasts 46 days (40 days plus 6 Sundays). 

It is a solemn day whose mood is penitential and reflective, grounded in an act of confession and repentance that is symbolized with the marking of worshippers’ foreheads with a cross of ashes.

We gather this year at the Church of St Paul in Barriere on Ash Wednesday, February 22, at 11:00 am for a service of Holy Communion and the Imposition of Ashes. 

Join us for this moving service, embracing these ancient symbols of the Church, and committing ourselves to the disciplines of a holy Lent.
