Blessing of Epiphany Water
On the eve of the Feast of Epiphany, January 5, 2026, at 5:30 pm, there will be a special blessing in the Traditional Latin Rite for Epiphany Water and Epiphany Chalk. Father blesses enough Epiphany Water to last the rest of the year. The blessed chalk is given to those who wish to inscribe the Epiphany Blessing over the lintels of their house doors. All are invited to attend this special ritual of blessing and to bring your own water and salt for the blessing of the Epiphany Water, to then take back home with you. If you wish to participate, please bring fresh, clean water in secure vessels and place them in front of the altar rail when you arrive for the blessing.
Pilgrim Virgin Statue
The Lancaster Latin Mass Community invites its members to welcome into your home our own Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima. You may sign up to have the statue in your home for a period of approximately one month. During this time of visitation, families are encouraged to: practice daily prayer of the rosary; invite guests to join your family in praying with Our Lady; share the message of Fatima; and make a Home Enthronement to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary:
