The Blessing of the Backpacks is open to students of all ages and teachers, too. Bring a backpack, school bag, briefcase or even a lunchbox to church and place it near the altar. We will invite owners to stand up to receive a blessing for the school year, and a small memento of the occasion.

Not a student or a teacher? You can participate by bringing a backpack, lunch box or selection of school supplies to donate to CRADLES to CRAYONS. These donations will be blessed as well.
