Celebrate Candlemas with
Marin Catholic on Thursday...
What is Candlemas? On Thursday, the Church celebrates the feast of the Presentation of the Lord (Luke 2: 22-40), which occurs forty days after the birth of Jesus.  Also known as "Candlemas", the liturgy includes the blessing and procession of candles.  Candles will be supplied, but you may bring a candle from home to be blessed (to be used for  personal prayer, to place at the dinner table, etc.).

Traditionally this day is also a celebration of consecrated life in the church; we are so pleased to be able to honor our three Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist!

Mass will begin at 7:20am in the foyer outside the chapel to allow extra time for the candlelit procession.


        Good Luck to Our Mock Trial Team at
Saturday's Final Competition!
