A seminarian from Chile offers couples some advice for marking both days on Feb. 14.
This year, Ash Wednesday falls on Valentine’s Day. But the two days don’t need to be completely at odds with one another, according to Father Dustin Dought.
Is Valentine’s Day just about lovers hanging out in pairs? Is it all about those who claim to be in love going out for ice cream on a single day in the year and gifting each other material things? Is Valentine's Day just for young people who claim to be so much in love that they set aside one day to show each other how they feel?
