Lent in the Catholic Church is traditionally a time of subdued mood in liturgy, penance, and "getting right" with God. But at Holy Angels it is also a busy time in a good way. We have many activities around the Lenten season which enhance our observance of the holy season and which invigorate parish life in positive ways.
       On this page we share images from the start of the 2009 Lenten season, with the observance of Ash Wednesday. The evening liturgy depicted here has become quite elaborate with the actual burning of last year's palms to make ashes for marking the foreheads of the faithful. Mass and communion are of course the centerpiece of the worship which drew a sizable congregation.
       Photos are below. Above are links to pages reporting on our annual, Lenten fish fry and our small group faith sharing.
       Not pictured here are the weekly Friday evening masses with the way of the cross which also drew a good number of faithful participants.
