Blessing of Sacramentals

The monthly Blessing of Sacramentals will be next Saturday, August 26 after the 10 am Mass. You may bring your various sacramentals, such as rosaries, medals, scapulars, statues, images, oil and salt. Please place them on the benches in front of the front pews (those closest to the sanctuary) before the 10 am Mass. Sacramentals can also be placed on the floor in front of the benches, if there is not enough room.
 
To make the blessings as efficient as possible, please make sure that it is easy to see your sacramentals for what they are (rosaries, for example) from a few feet away. If your sacramentals are small or covered by something (plastic wrapping, cloth sack, etc.), please clearly label them for what they are, in large letters.
 
If you have multiple kinds of sacramentals (e.g., rosaries, scapulars, medals), it is recommended to put them in a container, such as a bag or box. The container must be clearly labeled to indicate what is inside. It is also recommended to put your name on all labels.
