Ash Wednesday Ushers in Lenten Season

Today, the entire Mercy school community gathered for Ash Wednesday prayer and the distribution of ashes. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the forty days of prayer, fasting and alms-giving of Lent. Our theme this year is ‘No Greater Love’ (taken from John 15:13). We wish all within the Circle of Mercy, and everyone who relies on God’s forgiving grace, a wondrous and prayerful Lenten season.
