Ash Wednesday 2025

Ash Wednesday for 2025 saw record breaking attendance at Kean University this year! We were overjoyed to see so many familiar and new faces at our Ash Distribution Services, which included the Liturgy of the Word. Attendees got the chance to also receive information on our Lenten schedule on campus, receive free Word on Fire Gospels (donated to us by Word on Fire’s College Campaign!) as well as Lenten Companion booklets, kindly purchased for us by Montclair State University’s Newman Ministry.
