Ash Wednesday

Wednesday is Ash Wednesday – marking the beginning of the 40 days of Lent before Easter Sunday. Many Catholics will signify Ash Wednesday by getting ashes placed in the shape of a cross on their foreheads.  It’s technically not a Holy Day of Obligation but if you’re into this ritual, here’s where to get your ashes in the neighborhood.

St. Patrick’s Day Route + Time Change

Let the countdown begin!  We are weeks away from the 2025 St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and organizers have announced this year’s route.   No big changes except for the start time – which this year will begin at 11:30am.  The earlier start is to accommodate parade volunteers so they are not still out on the route until 6pm like last year.  You can get more details here.
