Blessing of the Throats

February 2, 7 & 8, after each mass

Catholics traditionally receive a blessing of the throat on the feast day of St. Blaise (Feb. 3), who was a bishop and martyr of fourth-century Armenia. During the blessing, a cross is formed from two blessed candles that are held over the throat. We will be celebrating the Blessing of the Throats after every Mass on February 2, 7, and 8.
