Join the Diocese of Bridgeport to celebrate Ash Wednesday on March 5 and officially begin the season of Lent!
Masses are celebrated in English unless otherwise noted. Special liturgies (ie: Family Masses, Solemn Masses, etc.) are also indicated.
Several parishes will also host “Ash and Dash” opportunities for the faithful to receive their ashes, which are included at the top of this list.
Bishop Frank J. Caggiano will celebrate Mass on Ash Wednesday at 12:10 pm at St. Augustine Cathedral in Bridgeport. The mass will also be streamed live from the Diocese of Bridgeport’s website (the link will be posted at the top of the home page).
We can’t wait to see you and your loved ones this Ash Wednesday!
