Blessing of the Backpacks at the Church of the Advent

On Sunday September 8, the Church of the Advent on Brimmer Street welcomed over 40 students to the fourth annual "Blessing of the Backpacks." During the mass, children held up their backpacks, lunch boxes, and school supplies to be blessed by Advent clergy. Volunteer teachers were also commissioned during the service in preparation for the new church school year. Children and volunteers interested in participating in the Church of the Advent Church School program should email frwood@theadventboston.org for more information.
