Today Is Ash Wednesday – Here’s Where You Can Get Ashes In El Paso

Now that you have partied your face off, and in some cases, your blouse off, on Fat Tuesday, it's time to go to church and gear up for Lent.

If you managed to make it to work this morning, your plan might be to hit church during your lunch hour to get the familiar cross of ashes on your forehead. The El Paso Times did their annual partial list of Ash Wednesday services. If you don't see your favorite church on the list, just call them and find out when they'll be offering ashes. Some churches do self-serve ashes and some have a Mass before they administer them.

But for heaven's sake, make sure you take those beads off. The priest knows how you got them!
