HAITI NEWS |
HAITI SOLIDARITY WEEK will be celebrated by parishes in the Diocese of Richmond from February 4 through the 12th. This week is a time to promote a stronger connection to our twin parish of St. Louis on the island of LaGonave and to remember them in our prayers. Look for the Haiti Solidarity Week calendar in next week’s bulletin and try some of the suggested activities with your family. You will have a better understanding of life in our twin parish. Haiti Outreach members will be dispensing blue solidarity ribbons after each Mass next weekend. Wear one proudly through the week. Men anpil chay pa lou. Many hands make the load lighter. Mesi anpil. Thank you very much.

CANDLEMAS AND BLESSING OF THE THROATS
|
CANDLEMAS: The Feast of the Presentation of the Infant Jesus in the temple 40 days after his birth is also known as Candlemas Day. In scripture it notes that the holy man Simeon proclaimed that this child would be the “Light of Revelation to all peoples.” You are invited to bring candles you use for religious devotion in your home to the 12:05 Mass this Thursday, February 2 where they will receive a special blessing.
THE BLESSING OF THROATS will take place at the 12:05 Mass Friday, February 3 on the feast of St. Blaise. He is credited with saving the life of a child who had a bone caught in this throat and so his intercession is invoked to help prevent ailments, especially of the throat.
