Mardi Gras & Ash Wednesday
February 21, 2023 - February 22, 2023
Join us in the courtyard at 5:30p on February 21st for a party to celebrate Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday with jambalaya and pancakes. At the turn of the night we’ll head to the courtyard to gather around a fire to burn the palms from last year’s Palm Sunday to make the ashes for the next day, Ash Wednesday.
Our Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday dinner is also our annual Youth Immersion trip fundraiser, so please consider a donation of $5-10 for kids 12 and under, $10-15 for adults, $35 max for families, if you are able (credit cards accepted). And, if you are able to give more, please do! Our high schoolers are heading to Mexico City this summer to immerse themselves in the culture and participate with the local diocese on some projects.
Come back the next day, on Wednesday February 22nd for Ash Wednesday––a penitential rite with ashes and Eucharist. 7a in the chapel, 12p in the church and again at 7:30p in the church (this service is also live streamed).
