Sacred Heart prepares for Ash Wednesday
This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, and Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Newton will be holding a special service at 12:05 and 7 p.m.
“It starts the beginning of Lent, preparation before Easter,” Pastoral Minister Tammy Norcross said. “For Catholics, it’s a day of fasting and abstinence – that means that we don’t eat in-between meals, and we eat smaller meals than we would on other days. We don’t eat meat on Ash Wednesday.”
To help their congregation, the church will be having fish dinners on Friday.
