You are Invited to Mass Feb 2 Feast of the Presentation

at 8:15AM where the celebrant will bless the candles for the year and pray for all consecrated religious.

“On this day, the Son of God is offered to his Father, and in his very Temple. This offering is wonderfully represented to us by the ceremonies that are performed today in the Church, because the procession with the candles lit reminds us of that divine procession of the Virgin, when she went to the Temple carrying in her arms her Son, who is the light of the world.”

Sermon of Saint Francis de Sales

(1567-1622)

Doctor of the Church, Bishop of Geneva

Founder of the Order of the Visitation
