Paddington Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I have heard that I can get ashes and a blessing and that it is totally separate from being in communion. Eh? Not much time left on the clock for this answer! I could attend the Spanish service before work on Wednesday. I'm thinking about it. Ashes or not.

cathoholic_anonymous Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) Yes, you are permitted to receive the ashes. They are not sacramental in nature. As for the blessing, non-Catholics are positively encouraged to receive one if they go to Mass.
