The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on Feb. 2, which is also Candlemas, marks the traditional end to the extended Christmas/Epiphanytide season. We will have the traditional blessing of candles and an indoor procession at our 12pm sung Mass on Feb. 2. You may bring your own candles from home to be blessed at this Mass. Please make sure your candles are clearly labeled with your name.
The priests of the diocese have their annual study days in Gatlinburg this week. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 10 and 11, we will not be able to offer confessions, and a deacon will offer a Communion service at our scheduled Mass times. Please pray for our priests!
