Marking Ash Wednesday

The Revs. Michael Kowalewski and Michael Woempner mark crosses of ash on the foreheads of parishioners Maria Kempany and Al Baciak during the Ash Wednesday Mass at St. Mary Queen of Peace Church in Kingsford. Ash Wednesday marks the first day of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting, prayer and penance leading up to Easter. This year, Easter Sunday falls on April 12.
