Lent starts this week with Ash Wednesday, but as good Catholics we celebrate Mardi Gras the day before. I hope you all have tickets for our Tolton Mardi Gras. It should be a great party. Let the good times roll from 5:30 – 7:30 PM. Once again, our Ash Wednesday Mass will be at 6 PM.
This is Black History Month. Be sure to look at our Parish Calendar for some interesting facts on Black History. Did you know that the first African slaves arrived in Jamestown in 1619? That makes this the 400th anniversary of their arrival.
Today, February 10, Michael S. Belzowski will be received into the Church with the Sacraments of Initiation at the 10:30 AM Mass. Mike and Nora have been coming for quite a while and we welcome Mike with great joy. Because we will have a celebration in honor of Mike, we will not have a Parochial Council Meeting today.
