We share a few photos from the start of Lent, including one of Fr. Greg Schill, SCJ, talking with students at St. Joseph’s Indian School about the ashes used during the Ash Wednesday liturgy, and the symbolism of the tradition. Other photos include Fr. Hendrik (Ardi) Ardianto, SCJ, distributing ashes at Sacred Heart School in Southaven, MS; Fr. Guy Blair, SCJ, doing a hallway service at Holy Family School, where the gymnasium was closed for floor repairs; Fr. Ari Saputra, SCJ, receiving ashes from Fr. Mark Mastin, SCJ, at SHSST; and Fr. Vien Nguyen, SCJ, looking on in Taubaté while Fr. Carlos Luis Suarez Codorniú, SCJ, superior general, receives ashes the day before anniversary celebrations at Faculdade Dehoniana (see information about the anniversary below).
