St. Mark Parish in Huntersville organized A blessing of Epiphany water, salt and chalk Jan. 5 with Father John Putnam, pastor, and Father Noah Carter and Father Brian Becker, parochial vicars, who were also joined by CKHS chaplain, Father Paul McNulty.

After the blessing the priests then proceeded to chalk every door of the church and the parish hall, as well as St. Mark School and Christ the King High School. Each building was also blessed with holy water and censed.

Enough chalk and Epiphany water was also blessed for all who attended Mass at St. Mark for the Epiphany Masses. More than 1,200 bags containing Epiphany water were handed out, besides more water distributed in people's own holy water bottles.
