Candlemas

The beautiful Feast of the Presentation of the Lord or “Candlemas” takes place 40 days after Christmas. For many centuries, it brought the Christmas Season to an end. (The Christmas Season now ends with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which this year was Jan. 11). Traditionally, Candlemas is also the day on which candles are blessed.

We’ll celebrate Candlemas this year with a special Mass and blessing of candles. Everyone present will be invited to take a blessed candle for their home. Hot Chocolate to follow Mass.
