Friday, February 2nd was the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. In remembrance of this special day when Joseph and Mary brought Baby Jesus to the temple forty days after Christmas, we are excited to offer a blessing of children ages birth to 18 this weekend during both the Sunday 9 AM and 11 AM Masses. Joseph and Mary cherished their faith and joyfully raised Jesus within it. Today, over two thousand years later, we continue to honor not only their commitment, but also show ours for the children in our parish. Thank you, parents, for continually nurturing and growing the faith of your children. They are the church!
