University to Mark Ash Wednesday with Masses

02/19/2020

To mark the beginning of the season of Lent on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 26, Saint Louis University will celebrate together at Masses throughout the day.

Lent is a season of renewal and a time when Catholics and other Christians are invited to deepen and strengthen their relationship with God in an intentional way. 

During Lent, the SLU community, in communion with the full Roman Catholic Church, will engage in the practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving in preparation for living more fully the Paschal mystery celebrated anew each Easter.
