- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 02 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord (also called Candlemas) marks the formal end of the Christmas season. Mark your calendar so that you do not miss the special Mass that will be offered on that day. Our guest preacher will be Fr. Steve Kiernan, pastor of Holy Cross parish in Springfield. Special music will include Lennox Berkeley's Missa brevis, Howells' "A spotless rose," and a Nunc dimittis composed by our own William Gatens. The rite of blessing candles immediately precedes Mass; the faithful are welcome to bring their own candles from home to be blessed. All present will receive a candle (a sacramental) to bring home. A candlelit procession with Our Lady will form and go out into the street before returning to celebrate solemn Mass.
