Description:
Ash Wednesday mass was celebrated on the 22nd of February by Fr. I. C. Jacob SDB at 8.30a.m in St. Francis Xavier Chapel. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent that prepares us for the celebration of Easter. The holy ashes are placed on our forehead to remind us that "we are dust and to dust we shall return."
Lent comes providentially to reawaken us, to shake us from our lethargy. It is a time of prayer, fasting and alms giving.
