PALM TO ASHES
Ash Wednesday, February 14, 2024
Ashes we receive on Ash Wednesday are made from the Palm we were given on Palm Sunday, 2023. We ask all St. Francis parishioners to please drop old, dried Palm in the box provided in the main lobby as you enter our church over the next few weekends.
Thank you, Peace, & Blessings,
Fr. Peter
