Basilians Worldwide Celebrate Ash Wednesday

Ilya Kovalevskiy • March 5, 2025

From schools to parishes to universities, from Colombia to Houston, Detroit and Toronto, Basilians around the world begin the Lenten journey together. Ash Wednesday is a time of reflection, repentance, and renewal—a chance to turn our hearts to God. As we receive the ashes, we pray for strength, guidance, and whatever is on your heart this season.
