This coming Wednesday, February 18th, is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. There will be three masses during which ashes will be distributed: on Tuesday night, the 17th, at 8pm in the parish church; on Wednesday, the 18th, at 7:15am in the Carmelite Sisters; and again on Wednesday, the 18th, at 9am in the parish church. Please take home the printed schedule available in the back of the church.
Because Ash Wednesday coincides with Chinese New Year the faithful of the Diocese of Hong Kong have been dispensed from having to observe fast and abstinence on that day. Individuals are free to choose another day for the Ash Wednesday fast and abstinence.
