Lenten Soup Luncheons served Wednesdays after Mass
Lenten soup luncheons, a tradition that began on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in 1993, take place every Wednesday during Lent in the Kittyhawk Chapel following the noon Mass. The simple meals of soup and bread are sponsored by the WPAFB Catholic community and open to all.
This year, the soup luncheons, which began on Ash Wednesday, continue through the last Wednesday of Lent, April 17, which is the Wednesday before Easter Sunday.
Soups are homemade by generous volunteers from the WPAFB Catholic Parish. Each Wednesday, there are generally eight to 10 different varieties. The parish serves an average of 80 to 100 people on Ash Wednesday and 40 to 60 on the other Wednesdays.
Wednesday daily Mass in the Kittyhawk Chapel is celebrated at noon. Immediately after Mass, the Chaplain, either Father Don Moss or Father David Vincent, offers the Grace before the meal and blesses the guests and those who have made and will serve the soups. The Lenten Soup Luncheons are offered by the WPAFB Catholic parish and open to the base community in a spirit of fellowship and Lenten service.
