February 6 - External Solemnity of the Presentation


On Sunday, February 6, the External Solemnity of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple and the Purification of Mary was observed.  Candles were blessed, distributed and held by the faithful during the procession before Mass and during the Gospel and the Canon of the Mass until after Holy Communion.  For this reason this feast is also known as Candlemas.

    Mr. Dogood, what's this "cut back on the incense" nonsense?!? If a little is good, more is better!

    Fr. Eric, Keep up the good work. The Latin Mass is alive and well on Guam. Pax e bonum
