PRESENTATION OF THE LORD
(2nd February)
One of the customs of the Church on
the Feast of the Presentation is to
bless candles. All the candles to be
used throughout the church year in
the liturgy and sacrament are brought
forward for blessing. The people are
encouraged to BRING any candles
they would like blessed on this day.
The blessing of the candle will be
done in the parish hall at 5:30 pm
and thereafter procession to the
church for the Mass.

BLESSING OF THROAT (3rd
February)
The 3rd February is the feast day of
St. Blaise. From the 8th century he
had been invoked on behalf of the
sick, especially those afflicted with
illness of the throat. The Mass will
end with the blessing of the throat.

What’s the Difference? Catholics,
Orthodox, Protestants
The 8-sessions course will be
conducted in two parishes: COOL
(3-5th Feb.) and St. John’s Church
(6-7th Feb.) The first session will
begin in this parish at 7:30 pm on
Friday, 3th February. This course
aims to help its participants better
understand the beliefs of people
coming from various Christian
traditions. This is so that we can
avoid making premature conclusions
about other Christians before
seeking first to understand what they
truly believe. For more details,
please refer to the poster at the
entrance of the church.
