Every years on the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord aka Candlemas, it is customary to bless candles; the candles that are carried in the procession, the candles that will be used throughout the liturgical year, and candles that will be sold to the congregation to take home. The candlelight is an outward and visible sign of Christ who illumines our heart and inner being and a reminder that Jesus calls us to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth. You may bring your candles from home to have them blessed at our 6:30 pm Mass on the night of Tuesday February 2nd.
