3. You should donate the ashes- the clergy aren't very good at making
them. And the occasion only comes up once a year.

2. No
I would have if I had remembered. Now I feel Catholic guilt. Oh well.

5. I'm at work still
Going to be here late. Why I am giving you excuses for not going to church - you're not my mom! :spank:

6. Raised Catholic no longer practicing...
No harsh feeling against the Church (except for the usual scandals and political things I don't agree with). I just kind of let it go over the years.

7. Never went to church on Ash Wednesday
Even when I went to church regularly. I don't even know if the churches that I went to really had those services. I remember one of them having it during the day, but I wasn't taken out of school for it. I have gone to churches, as my primary church, of the following denominations: Methodist, UCC, and Church of Christ.

8. I just started going back to church after being away for about 10 years
When I didnt feel like it, I didnt go.
Now I really want to be there, I am looking forward to it.

12. In my church (UCC), we had a beautiful candlelight service.
Most of it was sung by the choir. The ashes are mixed with oil with a nice scent in it.

14. Unless the Catholic church brings forth some serious reform, I refuse
to attend any mass, short of a funeral or wedding.
Let the priests marry and the molestation/abuse issues all but disappear.
