BLESSING OF THROATS
In February, the Church recognizes the Feast Day of St. Blaise. On this day, the church gives a Blessing of Throats in honor of St. Blaise. From the eighth century, he has been invoked on behalf of the sick, especially those inflicted with illnesses of the throat.
At Saint Mary’s, we will celebrate Mass with the Blessing of Throats on Wednesday, February 1 at 9:00 a.m. All are welcome to join us!
