Ash Wednesday 2025

Ash Wednesday- Our Lenten Pilgrimage Begins.

“Repent and believe in the Gospel.”

The 40-day period represents Christ’s time of temptation in the wilderness, where he fasted and where Satan tempted him. Lent asks believers to set aside a time each year for similar fasting, marking an intentional season of focus on Christ’s life, ministry, sacrifice, and resurrection.

Members of the college community gathered for the annual distribution of the ashes.

Lenten Prayer

Lord, Jesus Christ, fill me, I pray, with Your light and life. Amen.
(St Ignatius of Loyola)
