March 2 is Ash Wednesday and across Acadiana there are plenty of options to observe the day.

Several churches in Acadiana will welcome the faithful to receive their ashes during full masses and services, but also through drive-thru distributions.

Abby Breidenbach was LIVE on Wednesday morning with a look at a few of the places to get ashes on Wednesday.

Just about every church that observes Ash Wednesday will have a full Mass or service scheduled.

In Lafayette, Bishop Deshotel will host a full Mass on March 2 at 12:00 pm at St. John's Cathedral in Downtown Lafayette.
