The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord

This weekend we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, also known as "Candlemas". We hope that you will be able to join our Parish Family of Saint Anne for Mass this weekend. We will begin each of our celebrations with the traditional blessing and lighting of candles. And, after each of our Masses this weekend, we will be offering the Blessing of Throats in honor of Saint Blaise, whose feast day is Monday, February 3rd.

Our Mass on Saturday afternoon is at 4:30 PM. I will be the celebrant for Mass and music will be provided by T.J. and Derrick. The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be offered after Mass at 5:30 PM until all are heard.

Our Masses on Sunday morning will be at 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM. Our celebrant at the 8:30 AM Mass will be Father Patrick Murphy, and I will be the celebrant for Mass at 10:30 AM. Music will be provided by Bill Rosas and our choir, with the band joining us for Mass at 10:30 AM which will include special music in honor of the beginning of Black History Month.

We hope that you will also be able to join us for our Pancake Breakfast Buffet. This wonderful, all-you-can-eat breakfast includes pancakes, sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, and fruit cups. Serving begins at 8:30 AM and will continue until 10:30 AM. So please stay after our 8:30 AM Mass or come early before our 10:30 AM Mass and enjoy breakfast!

So, happy Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, happy Feast of Saint Blaise, happy Black History Month, and happy Super Bowl Sunday!
