I already have so many tucked behind the crucifix on my wall it is in danger of falling off (ok an exaggeration maybe but it definitely doesn't need any more ). I usually don't take one or leave it in the pew to be used for next year's ashes but both dh and ds brought theirs home this time. I know I can't just get rid of them because they are blessed but what to do?

You bring them back next year where they are burnt to make the ashes for Ash Wednesday.

What on earth am I supposed to do with them til then? Also I don't think I have ever been told to bring them back for collection at a later time.
