Hebrews 10:24-25 

 “A Light for Revelation”

When 40 days had passed, Joseph and Mary presented the Baby Jesus in the Temple. Luke 2:22-40 tells us that Simeon then gave his great hymn, which called Christ a “light for 

revelation to the Gentiles.” Upon our Baptism we enter into the Mystical Life of Christ, and thus become lights of revelation. Candles have the unique privilege of reminding us of this call. As such, it is customary to bless candles on the Feast of the Presentation. Our Parish will bless at home candles the weekend prior, January 31 and February 1, after both Masses. Feel free to bring any new or used candle for the blessing.

St. Blaise, a physician later Ordained a Priest, was captured by the pagans in AD 316. On his journey to execution, a boy choking on a fish bone was placed before him. At the command of St. Blaise, the bone leaped out of the boy’s throat. Since the martyrdom of St. Blaise is right after the Presentation of Jesus, the blessing of throats through his intercession, comes with the use of unlit candles. This blessing will be offered after the 5:30 PM Daily Mass on Tuesday February 3rd. 

Everyone is welcome.

Time : 5:30 PM

Location: Scholasticum Building  

Starting this first week of Advent, the Sanctuary Lamp will burn in honor of Parishioner intentions. The Sanctuary Lamp is the red lamp next to Jesus in the Tabernacle. It is the fulfillment of Leviticus 6:13, which reads, “Fire shall be kept burning upon the Altar continually; it shall not go out.” This fire was to be kept next to the Arc of the Covenant as a mini-sacrifice for the people. (Exodus 27:20-21.)

Now, just as the Mass is offered for all and yet the Priest has a special intention, so too, the Sanctuary Lamp burns for all, but can carry a special intention. The first week of Advent’s Sanctuary Lamp will burn in honor of St. Patrick’s kids and youth.

If you would like to request the Sanctuary Lamp burn in honor of a specific intention or for a specific person, please contact the Parish Office. It’s customary to give a $5 donation, but this is not required.
