As we celebrate Catholic Schools Week, we recognize the accomplishments that Catholic education has made and continues to provide in academics and social growth. Our parish has made this a priority for over sixty five years in our efforts to evangelize, promote Gospel values and spread the Franciscan spirit. Many generations have benefited from the quality education of St. John the Beloved School and continue to do so. We congratulate the principal, teachers and staff of our parish school on their ministry in Catholic education. We acknowledge the sacrificial efforts made by families to supply this education for our children and are thankful to the parishioners for supporting this noble effort. May the Good Lord continue to bless you.

Feast of the Presentation of the Lord will be celebrated on Thursday, February 2 at the 8 a.m. Mass. It celebrates the presentation of Jesus in the Temple as “The Light of all Nations.” It is the custom to have candles blessed on this day. Blessed candles will be available after Mass.

The Feast of Saint Blaise is Friday, February 3rd. Throats will be blessed at the 8 a.m. Mass on that day and after all Masses next weekend in our church. St. Blaise, a physician and bishop in Armenia, healed a boy of throat difficulties while being led to
martyrdom. Traditionally throats are blessed in his honor.
