On February 18, 2026, churches across Bandra will observe Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of the Lenten season in the Christian calendar. Faithful from across the suburb will gather for Ash Wednesday Mass in Bandra churches, as the 40-day journey toward Easter begins.
During the Ash Wednesday Mass, worshippers receive ashes made from the previous year’s Palm Sunday palms — a solemn reminder of humility, reflection, and spiritual renewal during Lent.
For those planning to attend, Bandra Buzz has compiled a detailed list of Ash Wednesday 2026 Mass timings across Bandra churches to help the community plan their visit.
