FEAST OF ST. BLAISE
The most popular story attributed to St. Blaise occurred while he was in prison, when he cured a young a boy who was in danger of choking to death because of a fishbone in his throat. That story, and the fact that St. Blaise was a doctor, made the saint very popular for intercessory prayer for throat ailments. Every year, it is tradition to bless the throats of the faithful to protect them for the upcoming year. Our priests will bless the throats of our students and families at the all-school Mass.
