If your palms look something like this, take down the palms, put them into your car, and bring them with you to St. Anselm, and we'll collect them like this:
On Tuesday, we'll collect all of the blessed Palms from last year and then do this to get ready for Ash Wednesday:
So, we'll be ready to do this on Ash Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. Mass, 12:00 p.m. Service, 4:30 Service, and a 7:00 p.m. Mass:
Just for the record, if you can't get to church on Wednesday, if you're sick, or homebound, you don't need to receive ashes to mark the beginning of Lent. The ashes are not a "blessing", they are not a Sacrament, they are a sacramental. If you don't get to church for ashes on Ash Wednesday, that is NOT a sin in any way. And it is not something you need to worry about in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. However, we ALL need to mark out the season of Lent as a Special Time to Pray, Fast, and Give Alms (More than we usually do in our life). See my previous posts for suggestions as to how we can do Lent in St. Anselm's.
