Ash Wednesday
Almighty and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made and dost forgive the sins of all those who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Ashes will be imposed during and in between each of our three Solemn Liturgies at 8 a.m., 12 p.m., and 5:30 p.m., during which you may also receive Holy Communion.
The imposition of ashes
Saint Thomas Church is typically open to the public from 8:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, and 10:00am-4:00pm on Saturdays. Our Sunday hours are determined by our service and events schedule. We hope you will join us for our Monday-Saturday noontime service of Mass in the Lady Chapel, preceded by Shrine Prayers. We also offer space for Private Prayer in the back of the Nave.
