Some local churches offered quick and easy ways to receive ashes for Ash Wednesday, including Saint Matthew Church in Norwalk.

Saint Matthew Church offered walk-in ashes for those who could not attend a full Mass.

Saint Matthew Church also rolled out a bus to deliver ashes to people across Norwalk and neighboring communities. The stops included:

· Total Look Salon: 3482 Post Rd., Southport.
