General Announcements
Parish to host special feast day Mass
Expectant mothers, young children and candles will be blessed during a special blessing liturgy and Mass at 5 p.m. on Feb. 2 at Holy Name of Jesus Church, 89 N. 17th Ave., in Beech Grove.
On the Church’s liturgical calendar, Feb. 2 is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. It is the day when the Church celebrates how Mary and Joseph, following the Law of Moses, brought the Christ child to the Temple in Jerusalem to be dedicated to the Lord (Lk 2:22-40).
The feast, often in the past called “Candlemas,” has traditionally been an occasion for the blessing of candles. Those who attend the Mass can bring their own candles to be blessed or they will receive free candles. The blessing of candles will begin at 5 p.m. in the Jerry Craney Performance Center adjacent to Holy Name of Jesus Church.
The Mass, during which expectant mothers and young children will be blessed, will begin at 5:30 p.m.
