St. Philomena Catholic Church

President’s Day

The Office will be closed today for the holiday.

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation, but it is a Holy Day. Please join us for Mass:

• 6:30am (English)
• 8:00am (English)
• 9:00am School Mass
• 6:00pm (Bilingual)
• 8:00pm (Spanish)

Remember that Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days on which we unite as a Church in fasting (2 half-meals and one full meal, with nothing in between) in repentence for our sins. We also abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and on all Lenten Fridays.

Please join us on Fridays during Lent at 5:30 pm for a soup supper followed at 7:00 pm by the Stations of the Cross.

The Parish Penance Service with individual confessions will be on Wednesday March 7 at 7:00 pm.
