Mary and Joseph bring to the Temple their firstborn who, in accordance with the law, had to be redeemed or “bought back” by means of the prescribed sacrifice. Thirty-three years later, Jesus himself will be the sacrifice that is offered on our behalf, for our redemption. Additionally, Mary’s unique and maternal share in her Son’s redemptive suffering—the sword that will pierce her heart—means that we always have a place in her heart: we can turn to her with our sufferings and our sins. Finally, the candles that are traditionally blessed on this day, also known as Candlemas, remind us that Jesus is the light of the world and the light of our life.

Blessing of Throats on Memorial of St. Blaise February, 3, 2022
There are opportunities for men and women at St. Vincent College to join small groups. These groups meet once a week to share their faith and grow into a deeper relationship with God. Please contact: Br Francisco Whittaker for more information This is the memorial of Saint Blaise, Bishop and Martyr. He was bishop of Sebaste in Armenia in the fourth century and was beheaded during the persecution of Licinius. While in prison, he miraculously cured a small boy who was choking to death on a fishbone lodged in his throat. Saint Blaise is invoked for his protection against any physical ailment of the throat. The blessing of throats will take place at the end of Masses
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is provided through Campus Ministry for students who are interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith with an interest in becoming a Catholic. Students who participate will meet as a group once a week to learn more about the faith and help with each individuals faith journey. Students who are only in need of Confirmation can also attend and prepare for the Rite of Confirmation as well. Contact Bridget DaVittis for more information and help with the process.
