February is upon us which means it is time to return to the classroom Faith Formation programs and to prepare for the arrival of Lent! I don't know about you but I feel like 2020 is already rushing by us!

Candlemas is a Catholic feast day that happens every year on February 2. In Jewish tradition at the time, a baby boy was to be presented at the temple 40 days after he was born to be dedicated to God, so Candlemas is 40 days after Christmas morning.

Celebrate Candlemas as a Family!

FORMED CORNER:

Is your child preparing for First Holy Communion this year? Do you have a second grader who will be preparing for sacraments next year? Consider watching the FORMED series: Presence to learn more about the sacrament of Holy Communion. Do you realize during Mass Jesus comes to us fully present Body, Soul and Divinity in the sacrament of the Eucharist. That belief in Christ TRULY PRESENT in the Eucharist makes us as Catholics unique!
