List Of Ash Wednesday Services In El Paso

Now that everyone has partied their faces off, and in some cases, their blouses off, on Fatu Tuesday, it's time to go to church and gear up for Lent.

If you managed to make it to work this morning, your probably planning on hitting church during your lunch hour to get the familiar cross of ashes on your forehead.  At least you better, you heathen!
