Fr. Fabio will bless candles THIS weekend, January 28 and 29

Candles will be available for a donation in the Gathering Space. 

 Candlemas Day is the popular name for the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple. It commemorates the purifying of the Blessed Virgin Mary according to the Mosaic Law forty days after the birth of Christ. Candles are blessed on this day to commemorate Simeon's prophecy about Christ as "a light to enlighten the pagans" (Luke 2:32), and a candlelight procession is often held in a church to represent Christ's entry into the Temple of Jerusalem.
