As the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday calls us to remember our earthly mortality and thus repent and believe in the Gospel. The ashes are a sign of penance and also a reminder that we will die a temporal death and, therefore, should seek the kingdom of God so that we may live with Jesus and the Church Triumphant forever in heaven.
The Gospel for Ash Wednesday is a reminder that the real purpose of the season of Lent isn’t to make public demonstrations of piety—even the wearing of ashes—but to seek conversion of heart.
The Downtown Kenosha Catholic parishes will offer Masses at the following times on Ash Wednesday (Wednesday, March 5):
• Noon Mass at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church
• 5:30 p.m. Mass at St. James the Apostle Catholic Church
• 7:00 p.m. Mass at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church
Please note that all Masses will be offered in English.
