No corner of the Archdiocese of Vancouver was left behind this Ash Wednesday.

Clergy even brought ashes and a special blessing to sailors at a port in Delta, to travellers and security personnel at Vancouver International Airport, and to staff and homeless guests at Catholic Charities Men’s Hostel.
