Solemn Mass & Holy Burning: Reverent Disposal of Old Bibles and Blessed Items

Celebrate the Nativity of John the Baptist with Mass and the age old tradition of disposing of unwanted blessed objects on this day through a sacred fire. Bring unwanted Bibles, broken rosaries, holy cards, statues, etc. Burnable items will be placed in a blessed fire. The rest will be taken away and buried in sacred soil (church grounds).

Pro tip: Come early and check out the holy items that are being disposed. You might even find at item or two to rescue and to use for your own devotions.

Note: We are not able to take holy objects to be disposed ahead of time. Instead, please bring them with you to the event.
