The blessing will be held at all Masses at Saint Joseph’s
Monastery & Our Lady of Victory
Since 1968, the Pope has officiated at a special ceremony in St. Peter’s Square during Advent. Children of Rome flock to Saint Peter’s Piaza where the Pope blesses the figurine of the Baby Jesus brought from their homes.
We ask everyone to bring your statue of baby Jesus to Mass to be blessed.
This is a great activity for your children and grandchildren as well as adults.
After the homily, you will be invited to come forward for the blessing and sprinkling of holy water.
