On Wednesday, March 25, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. This celebration commemorates the visit of the angel Gabriel to the virgin Mary to inform her that she was to be the mother of our Savior.
In modern times, this feast day has taken on special meaning in the Church's efforts to protect and defend all human life.
The Annunciation helps us to recognize the gift of new life from its very beginning in the womb, and it calls us to reflect on how we are to care for, protect, and care for new life, as the Blessed Mother did for the Christ child.
In anticipation, of this great Marian feast day that highlights the humanity of all unborn children, St. Patrick's will be offering the "Blessing of the Child in the Womb" at all Mass Services on March 21 & 22.
All expectant parents will be invited to rise, come forward, and receive this blessing upon their children.
Please contact Kelly Meier with any questions or for more information (970) 520-2040! Thanks!
