Join us for these traditional ways to transition from the Season of Epiphany into the Season of Lent.
Shrove Sunday Pancake Breakfast
February 15, 11:30am
Shrove Tuesday immediately precedes Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. Because of the distance of many parishioners from our church, we celebrate “Shrove Sunday” instead so more can participate! Shrove comes from shrive, meaning to confess sins as a preparation for Lent. Although the day is sometimes still used for self-examination and introspection, Shrove Tuesday eventually acquired the character of a celebration in many places. Pancakes are traditionally served because eggs, sugar, and fat, commonly forbidden during lenten fast, are used up so they will not go to waste.
Men of the Parish will prepare; all are welcome to join for breakfast at 11:30am. To join in prep work, contact Joe O’Reilly at 314-346-8647.
