Commuters, parishioners, and others are invited to start their 2022 Lenten journey on Ash Wednesday by receiving ashes and a blessing from the Rev. Marion Phipps at St. Hugh of Lincoln Episcopal Church in Elgin.

Offered as a convenience for drivers or those who do not yet feel comfortable attending an indoor church service, ashes will be available in the parking lot of the church from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 2. This will be the third year that St. Hugh members will host the drive through and, as in 2021, the Rev. Phipps and helpers will adhere to current safety protocols to protect the health of the participants.

Ash Wednesday worship services will be held in person and via Zoom at noon and 7 p.m. at the church on the southeast corner of Randall Road and Highland Avenue Masks will be required while inside the church.

From 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Ash Wednesday, March 2, church volunteers will direct commuters into the parking lot of St. Hugh of Lincoln Episcopal Church to begin their Lenten journey by receiving ashes and a blessing from the Rev. Marion Phipps. Courtesy of St. Hugh of Lincoln Episcopal Church
