The "Blessing of the Baminelli" has long been a tradition in Rome where the children bring the baby Jesus figurine from their home nativity set to be blessed at Mass. On the Third Sunday of Advent, (Gaudete Sunday), we are reminded to rejoice (gaudete) as we anticipate the birth of Jesus! In celebration as a St EAS family, we encourage everyone to bring their Baby Jesus figurines for a blessing by the priest in Church immediately following the 9:30AM Sunday, December 15th Holy Mass. We will conclude by singing "Silent Night."
