Ash Wednesday and Lent

Due to ongoing COVID restrictions, there will be no Ash Wednesday services on campus this year.

The Office of Religious & Spiritual Life is creating packets with Ash Wednesday self-administered decals (to be worn instead of ashes imposed on the forehead), Ash Wednesday prayer cards, and devotional booklets with readings and reflections for each day of Lent.

Please sign up for your ash decal and other devotional materials by Monday at 5 p.m. Packets will be available to pick up in the Farinon atrium on Ash Wednesday (Feb. 17).

If you would like assistance finding a local Ash Wednesday service (assuming we remain in restriction level 2 and travel is allowed) or a Zoom service, please contact Chaplain Alex Hendrickson at hendrica@lafayette.edu or 610-330-5959.
