Every year, before the beginning of school, St. John’s honors those going back to school with a Blessing of the Backpacks.
Everyone who is going to school (be it kindergarten, grade school, college, whatever) to bring their backpacks, computer bags, lunchbags, etc. to the 10:30am service. During the service, there will be a special blessing for all going back to school and special St. John’s tags, that you may clip on to your backpack will be handed out.
