I am getting them too at lunch. There are a whole bunch of little churches around Times Square that give them out all day long.

Re: Who is getting there "smudges" today?
I just got mine at St. Malachy's on 49th b/w Broadway and 8th. Other than today's masses (12:15 and 6pm, I *think*), they are giving out ashes all day.
ETA -- I actually got stopped on my way back to the office by a guy who asked me, "Is today Ash Wednesday?"  Not in a malicious way -- in a "Oh, no! I forgot about Ash Wednesday!" kind of way.

My friends and I used to call that church "smoky mary's" because of how much incense they use. I will be getting my ashes at my school.

Re: Who is getting there "smudges" today?
I got mine as soon as got in the city this morning at the Franciscan Church on 32nd. Between 6th & 7th. I have a feeling it will be a crazy day at work and I won't have time to do it later.

my parents didnt give us the option of going to mass alone until we turned 18 so every sunday morning at 8AM we were at the italian mass with them, NO MATTER WHAT. . . no way to get out of that one
so of course when i turned 18 i stopped going altogether ( thatll show them! )
i started going LAST ash wednesday and have been going regularly ever since. . .i actually started goin to see if it would help with my anxiety and it has!

we were there too ! my sister and I, ever sunday at the ITalian mass. (I wonder if we went to the same church  )
im so happy that I know every single prayer in ITalian as well as English.
and I do have a special connection to some of the songs though when I hear them again 
remember the song "REsta Con Noi ?"
they played it at my uncle's wake last year. and he was known to be the first one at church, in his sharp Sunday best, well when they played that song, we all lost it
and it was so precious to see our Japanese priest (anyone in Astoria know Father Joe at OLMC ???) he tried SO HARD to do the Italian mass when they needed him. (and he did a GREAT job too!) and he truly had a passion for his church.   and he proudly answered to Padre Giuseppe
sorry, that just brought back memories.

Re: Who is getting there "smudges" today?

I TOTALLY know what you mean. I have to visualze my mom or grandmother saying the prayers or singing the songs.
Here, let's see if this brings it back for you:
Ave Maria piena di grazie,
il Signore e con te. Tu sei benedetta tra le donne e benedetto e il frutto del tuo seno Gesu

I'm still horrified and offended by that post and wonder what the reaction would have been had the poster made such a slur against another religion.
Ashes tonight, btw.
