The Blessing of the Throats is a sacramental of the Roman Catholic Church celebrated on February 3rd, the feast day of Saint Blaise. Sacramentals are reminders of God’s presence in our lives. This blessing is a sign of our faith in God’s protection and love for us and for the sick. There will be blessing of throats on Friday, February 3rd after the 9am Mass, as well as after all weekend Masses on February 4th and 5th.
