The liturgical season of Lent starts Wednesday, February 6, 2008 with Ash Wednesday. While Ash Wednesday is not a day of obligation it would be good for all Lay Ministers to attend mass and receive ashes.
Extraordinary Ministers of Communion (Distributors) are usually called upon to help distribute ashes at the Ash Wednesday masses.
Using the thumb of your right hand you dip into the plate of ashes and make the Sign of the Cross on each persons forehead while saying one of the following:
“Remember man (woman) you are dust and to dust you shall return.”
or
“Turn away from sin, and be faithful to the Gospels.”

If you haven’t received the March to May minister questionnaire, you may download a copy by clicking on the Schedule link in the upper right of your screen. Fill it out and return it any way that works for you.
May we all have a good Lent.
Peace and blessings
