Epiphany Mass! Blessed Chalk! Yay!

For my parishioners who went home with blessed chalk from this evening's mass but not an "instruction sheet", the form of the inscription (to be written on the front door-frame of your house) is thus:

20+C+M+B+11

The initials refer, of course, both to the three wise men (Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar) and to "Christus Mansionem Benedicat" - May Christ bless this house.   If you are part of our far-flung "cyber-parish" (like in Canon City, Colorado, whoever you are!), you could write me at janikowski AT grics.net and I will send you some blessed chalk!  What a deal!  Just remember to put the "@" symbol in place of the AT, ok?

And please remember, the parish Epiphany party starts at 6:30 tomorrow night (Thursday).  Please bring an h'ors d'oeuvre to pass around.
