University to Mark Ash Wednesday With Masses Across Campus
Lent is a season of renewal and a time when Christians are invited to deepen and strengthen their relationship with God in an intentional way.
During Lent, Stations of the Cross for Peace and Justice will be staked in the ground along West Pine Mall, west of Campus Ministry. Members of the University community are invited to take some time to read and pray with these stations during Lent. Materials are available in Campus Ministry to guide people along the path.
Ash Wednesday takes place on Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026. Masses will take place at the Law School, South Campus, and North Campus.
