CHARLOTTE — St. Basil Eastern Catholic Mission in Charlotte welcomes everyone to Forgiveness Vespers at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 19, at the Charlotte Catholic High School chapel.
In the Eastern Catholic rite, Forgiveness Vespers marks the beginning of the penitential season of Lent.
It is equivalent to the Roman rite's Ash Wednesday liturgy, but also includes a unique ritual of forgiveness and a symbolic visual changing of the liturgical season from Ordinary Time to Lent. For details, go to www.stbasil.weebly.com.
