University Observes Ash Wednesday 

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent in the Roman Catholic Church, a season of renewal and a time when the SLU community is invited to deepen and strengthen its relationship with God in an intentional way.

To mark the beginning of Lent, a number of Masses were held throughout the day across the Saint Louis University campus. 

Check out a photo gallery from one of the Masses at St. Francis Xavier College Church.
