Ash Wednesday Mass

Ash Wednesday falls on an on campus day for students with last names L–Z. Fr. McGrath SJ will celebrate Mass before school at 7:10 a.m. in the Chapel. Students, faculty and staff who are in the building are invited to join us—space is limited. At the conclusion of Mass, adult and student ministers will be on hand to distribute ashes in the Main Lobby and the Piazza from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.. Ashes will also be distributed during the first 15 minutes of each lunch period in the Chapel. Due to COVID-19, we are following the rubrics provided by the Vatican. Ashes will be sprinkled on each person's head. The formula found in the Roman Missal— "Repent, and believe in the Gospel" or "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return"—will not be spoken.

Students who are not in the building on Ash Wednesday are encouraged to receive ashes at their local parishes.
