will be the Stations of the Cross at 5 pm followed immediately
by Holy Mass.
Ash
Wednesday: (Feb. 17th). Masses
on Ash Wednesday are 8 and 9 o'clock in the morning and 5
o'clock in the afternoon. Ashes will be distributed during
Masses.
Fish Fry:
On Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent our PTO puts on a
delicious and wonderful Fish Fry. Don't miss it. It
goes from 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm in Heritage Hall. See the

Eucharistic Adoration:
Remember, Eucharistic Adoration is every Thursday from 3pm -
5pm. During part of the time, roughly, 3:25 - 3:55 pm, I
will hear confessions. This is a wonderful way to prepare
for Lent.
