Candlemas 2023

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Candlemas on Thursday, February 2nd, at St. Clement Church in Minneapolis! It was a lovely evening with a beautiful Mass, exquisite music, a thoughtful lecture and warm fellowship.

After Candlemas, Fr. Austin Litke, OP gave an inspiring talk on “The Feast of the Presentation and Consecrated Life in the Church.” He presented Simeon and Anna as exemplars of consecrated life, a response to the Word himself being consecrated not for his own sake but as an inauguration of consecrated human nature in the Church.
