Ash Wednesday

Our Ash Wednesday Ecumenical Service and Mass were canceled due to inclement weather.

Online Ash Wednesday Ecumenical Service

Watch the Ash Wednesday Ecumenical Service directed by the
SMU Office of the Chaplain and Religious Life. Student Leadership Council member, Leanne Dang begins with opening prayer, and our Chaplain, Father Wade Bass gives the Homily.
