Ash Wednesday is February 14 and begins the 40-day Lenten period of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to prepare for the celebration of the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Below is our Mass and service schedule:
8 AM – Mass
12:10 PM – Mass
4 PM – Children’s Service
7 PM – Mass
Ashes will be distributed during each of the Masses and services. Ashes will not be distributed on an individual basis at any other time. St. Charles Angels are available to bring ashes to the sick or homebound. Please contact the rectory to make arrangements.

Let us embrace the call to repentance and renewal, seeking deeper connections with our faith and each other. 

We are starting another session of Bible study next Sunday. Fr. Bill Smith will join us to present an overview of the Gospel of Mark, which we will hear in church this year. The discussion in the following weeks will be guided by Angels in the Bible, which is available from Little Rock Scripture Study. Join us on Sundays at 5 PM via Zoom starting on January 28.

During Lent, the Brownstone Brooklyn & Beyond book group will discuss C.S. Lewis’ satirical novel The Screwtape Letters. One of his most popular works, it uses a series of letters written by a senior demon to his young nephew to address observations on human nature, temptation, and the Christian faith. We will begin on February 15 with a discussion of the Preface through Chapter 8.

The Brownstone Brooklyn and Beyond book group meets weekly on Thursdays at 7 PM via Zoom. It is comprised of parishioners from various churches in the Brooklyn Heights/Park Slope area. The book club was the subject of a short video that was presented at the 2021 World Communications Day virtual conference. The video includes an interview with Fr. John Gribowich and some familiar shots along Sidney Place.
