When does Lent start in 2023?
This year, Easter falls on Sunday, April 9, 2023.
For Western churches, that means
Lent will begin on Wednesday, February 22, 2023.
Ash Wednesday Mass will be held at 8:30 am at St. Ann’s .
On that day, priests gather ashes from the previous year's
Palm Sunday and rub them on congregants' foreheads
while citing Genesis 3:19:
"...For you
are dust, and to dust you
shall return."
