Ash Wednesday marks the start of a journey towards better versions of ourselves. To show our intent to embark on this 40 day path of reflection and growth, and to remind ourselves that everything but God is fleeting, we are marked with ashes. 


This year the Cathedral is offering multiple ways to take part in this Ash Wednesday ritual of receiving ashes. You can attend an in-person service at the Cathedral, receive ashes from clergy at one of three outdoor locations, or have ashes sent to you ahead of time and take part in a live streamed worship service. 

PLEASE NOTE: THERE WILL NOT BE A NOON EUCHARIST ON ASH WEDNESDAY. ASHES WILL BE DISTRIBUTED OUTDOORS AT NOON. 

More Details:

In-Person and Live Stream services 
7:30am - In Person worship service with imposition of ashes 

7:30pm - in-person and live stream service.
If you are not able to attend in person, but want to receive ashes sign up here to have ashes mailed to you in time for this service.
