Ash Wednesday 2021
On this Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, Mercy Theology teacher and Campus Minister Sister Pat Beairsto shares how Mercy will be observing the six-week journey of preparation and reflection. “One of the things I love about the Roman Catholic tradition is the rhythm of the liturgical year. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season when we enter a time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Here at Mercy, we’ll start each day with Lenten prayers, have meditations and reflections, and practice almsgiving through our annual Mission Month fundraising events.”
