Next Sunday is the celebration of the Presentation of the Lord, known as Candlemas. He is the light who came into this world to dispel sin and darkness. For this reason, on this day since the 7th century, candles have been blessed that will be used throughout the year. Parishioners who are interested in having their household candles blessed can bring them to Mass (please keep them with you where you sit): 5 PM Vigil Saturday, Feb. 1st; 7 AM, 9 AM and 11:30 AM Sunday, Feb. 2nd.
