Epiphany marks the occasion of a time-honored Christian tradition of “chalking the doors.” We invite you to adopt this custom in your family! Prayer cards explaining the ritual and blessed chalk have been placed at the Creche. Please help yourself when you come to Mass this weekend. Most often the chalking takes place after Epiphany Mass – celebrated this Sunday, January 8 -- and can be done at any dwelling. Seeing the symbols over our doors as we pass in and out on our daily routines reminds us that we all belong to Christ.
We encourage you to take a picture of your family chalking your door and post it on your personal Facebook page, or to Tweet about it. To have your picture appear on our St. Francis de Sales Facebook page, email your photo to smummey@cdeducation.org; be sure to identify those appearing in the picture.
