Summary
Ash Wednesday falls on Valentine's Day this year. It's a day filled with hearts but the most important one is the Heart of Jesus. We will celebrate Ash Wednesday reflecting on the three traditional practices of prayer, fasting, and alms-giving and their connection to the Heart of Jesus.
Description
