Feast Of St. Blaise 2018
St. Blaise was an early martyr bishop whose intercessory power was well-known especially by two famous miracles. The elements of these divine favors are what make up the blessing of throats on his feastday. The spiritual benefits from this sacramental are increased by our devout reception of this blessing.

Feast Of The Purification 2018
This ancient feast is celebrated today in the same way as Sylvia described the ceremony in the fourth century. Our Lord and His Mother exercised humility by submitting to the Mosaic laws that did not apply to these sinless Personages. The Holy Infant was ransomed this day so that He could be offered for our redemption in the future. Our Lady did not need any purification in order to return to the temple but she identified herself with us sinners. The first procession took place on this day with Simeon and Anna joining the Holy Family.

24th Sunday after Pentecost 2017
The tour of the chapel takes us today to the place of sacrifice. The significance of the altar is explained. Every single detail is of importance and prescribed by Holy Mother the Church so that all is done with reverence and devotion. After the Our Father the altar of sacrifice becomes the means of our communing with God in the Blessed Sacrament.

Feast Of St. Blaise 2017 – First Friday
Who needs miracles? Â Today’s sermon explains that God could have accomplished all things directly but He knows that due to our fallen human nature, we need miracles to help us believe. Â So, He sometimes uses secondary causes like the saints in their incorruptible forms, or sacramentals like the blessing of throats with candles today, or even the forces of Nature to prove His Divinity and the Truth of His words. Â But the point is it is God who is working – sometimes behind the scenes and sometimes in person, like at the Marriage Feast of Cana or the healing of the Leper, to get His point across. Â So, in answer to the question of who needs miracles, the answer is us, His people.
