Each year on February 2, the Feast of the Presentation or Candlemass, our parish community honors the symbolic meaning of light and the sacramental value of blessed candles. Those who would like to may purchase candles of any type and bring them to the 7:45 AM School Mass on Wednesday, February 2.
At the beginning of Mass, Father will bless the candles. The newly blessed candles are intended to be used in homes for spiritual purposes, such as during daily prayer, the family Rosary, lighting of the Advent wreath or praying for someone. Please remember that blessed candles need to be used properly, and must be burned or recycled — they cannot be thrown away.
