Stella Maris Parish is organizing a special time of prayer in the days leading up to Ash Wednesday. And they’re inviting the whole diocese to join them.
Starting on Sunday, February 15th @ 5:00pm, until Tuesday, February 17th @ 9:00am the parish will host 40 hours of Eucharistic Adoration.
February 18 is Ash Wednesday! This signals for Catholics around the world that our Lenten journey begins. For forty days we prepare our hearts and minds to recall the pain of Christ’s death on a cross that leads to the joy of his transformative resurrection. To help us prepare, parishes across the Archdiocese will host a variety of Lenten initiatives. More information is below.
PLEASE NOTE: for more information on any of the events, please contact the hosting parish directly. Thank you!
Each year on February 11, Catholics around the world recognize the World Day of the Sick. On this, the 34st World Day of the Sick, we are mindful of all who are sick and ill in any way and those who care for them. Each year the Pope releases a message to commemorate this day. Pope Leo’s message for 2026 can be found by clicking here or by visiting the Vatican website: www.vatican.va
