Low Mass at 12:00pm; High Mass at 6:00pm.  Rules for Fasting during Lent.
 
Ash Wednesday is from a liturgical point of view one of the most important days of the year.  In the first place this day opens the liturgical season of Lent, which formerly began with the First Sunday and comprised only thirty-six days.  The addition of Wednesday and the three following days brought the number to forty, which is that of our Lord's fast in the desert.
