On Sunday, January 19, 2025, St. Sebastian Mission in Carson City, NV, celebrated Matins and Divine Liturgy for the Feast of Theophany. The Great Blessing of Water took place in the church to provide Holy Water for parishioners, “that it may bestow cleansing of soul and body upon all who draw it with faith and partake of it.” Later in the day, the Blessing of Water also took place at the Carson River, but before that, a special benefit luncheon was held with all the day’s donations going towards establishing a relief fund for the LA fires that we will continue to add to and then forward as a larger donation to the Western Diocese LA Fire Relief Fund.
