Each year around the feast of the Epiphany many parishes throughout the world participate in an annual blessing of chalk. It is an ancient tradition that not only places God at the entrance of your home, it places your entire family under his protection.

The blessing has biblical roots, deeply tied to the Passover in the book of Exodus, as the chalk is used to mark the doorpost of your home.  The priest will bless chalk at the Vigil Mass for the Epiphany (January 6) and make it available for the Vigil and all day on the Epiphany (January 7).  The chalk and the prayers to use at home will be available after each Mass.
