SEASON OF LENT 2021

February 14, 2021

Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, 
this year on February 17th, 2021.

Lent is a time of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. 
This season offers us all a very special opportunity to grow in our relationship with God and to deepen our commitment to a way of life, rooted in our baptism. In our busy world, Lent provides us with an opportunity to reflect upon our patterns, to pray more deeply, experience sorrow for what we’ve done and failed to do, and to be generous to those in need.

This year, due to pandemic restrictions, there will be only one Mass at 9:00am, limited to 10 persons during which ashes will be distributed. Father will remain available immediately after Mass to distribute ashes to any parishioners who wish to be so blessed.

We would also remind you that Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are universal days of fast and abstinence from meat. All who are between the age of 18-59, and in good health are required to fast. Fasting means we can have only one full, meatless meal. Some food can be taken at the other regular meal times if necessary, but combined they should be less than a full meal.

We have a new tradition in our parish to support the hungry on a more continuous basis. Over 860,000 Canadians visit food banks every month, with over 36% of the donations feeding hungry children.

During the COVID‑19 isolation, please leave your items in a bag at the door of the rectory. Donations will be delivered to St. Willibrord’s parish food bank.
