What they’re saying

“Fat Tuesday is a time in which we eat and be merry, because the next day is Ash Wednesday, and it begins Lent, and it begins the time for fasting, and for abstinence, and those kinds of things. So we want to have a lot of fun before we begin the season of Lent.”

— Pastor Angela Chacón, Pastor (KOAL News)

“Last year, because the community is so generous with Ascension St. Matthews, we in turn were able to be very generous with other people who were in need. We were able to give a fair sum of money to different food ministries in our community last year, and I'm hoping that we can do the same this year.”

— Pastor Angela Chacón, Pastor (KOAL News)
