"Church always be a place of mercy and hope,
where everyone is welcomed, loved and forgiven."
- Pope Francis -
“February 2 is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple. 40
days after Christmas we celebrate Simeon's recognition of Jesus as a “light of
revelation to the nations” and we bless the candles that symbolize that light.
May Christ enlighten your hearts and homes.”
