MINISTRY & SERVICE

From the Chaplain's Office
Friday, Feb. 3, is the Memorial of St. Blaise, patron of throat ailments. It is an ancient tradition to bless throats in his memory with crossed candles (they are unlit!), asking for good health through his intercession. This week, students had the opportunity to receive the individual blessing during lunch periods. If your student missed this, encourage them to stop by my office for the blessing.  St. Blaise, pray for us!
