Next week (February 3) is the Feast of St. Blaise. It is a day when we traditionally have a Blessing of Throats and ask St. Blaise for healing and protection from viruses that are prevalent especially during these winter months. This year St. Mark will extend the period of blessing as Blessing of Throats will take place not only on Thursday, February 3 after the 8:00 AM Mass, but also at all weekend Masses on February 5-6. We hope you will take advantage of this extra opportunity to be blessed.
