The Catholic Church is More Than You Realize We've never had more access to information and been less equipped to make sense of it. The world around us is trained to be reactionary, without much thought to what their hearing and seeing. As this continues, we risk losing the wisdom around what makes us human. MTYR is a reminder to stop and look closer at the world around you. Whether it's faith, science, reason, relational, or interpersonal, we want to ask more questions and stop taking everything at face value. If you take the time, you might find that there is deeper meaning in everything that surrounds you. This is our movement and we invite you to join us. TOGETHER, we are More Than You Realize.

Prayer in the Square MARCH ASH WEDNESDAY MARCH 6: Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the penitential season of Lent. The early Church had many di¥erent ways of fasting before Easter. The 40 days of Lent we now know evolved around the time of the Council of Nicea, in 325 A.D. The ashes are made from the previous year's blessed Palm Sunday fronds, which are burned, sprinkled with water and scented with incense before distribution. The ashes have several symbolic meanings: They represent the grief of our sin, are a sign of penance and also symbolize the dust from which God created us. HOLY DAY
