The time of Lent begins on Wednesday 14^th of February, which is the Ash Wednesday. Lent is a time of penance, conversion and preparation for Easter. The best way of our spiritual renewal is to receive sacraments of confession and Eucharist, prayer, fast and charity work.

There will be Holy Mass in English on the Ash Wednesday at 7.30 am and Mass in Finnish at 6 pm. The Mass at 6 pm will be recorded by the television and broadcasted on the following Sunday at 10 am.
