Following each Mass on Monday, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, there will be a traditional blessing of herbs, flowers, and fruits.
 
This custom, which coincided with harvest time, dates back to Germanic countries in the earliest centuries, and served as an opportunity to give thanks and praise to the Lord for the bountiful harvest.

Please feel free to bring flowers, and items from your garden, to be blessed after Mass.
