Ash Wednesday Service 2026
Yesterday, MMA offered an optional Ash Wednesday service for cadets and members of the campus community, providing a meaningful moment of reflection and spiritual renewal.
Thank you to James Farnell, a Catholic deacon serving at St. Brendan Parish in Mexico, Missouri, and the parent of MMA Cadet Isaac Farnell, or leading the service and sharing his time with our cadets. All were welcome to attend, regardless of faith, as part of MMA’s commitment to supporting spiritual growth and understanding across traditions.
At Missouri Military Academy, cadets of all faiths are welcomed, respected, and supported.
