'Chalking the Door' is a tradition carried out during the Epiphany. It's believed to keep your family safe & bless your home in the year ahead. We researched this and wrote about it. We then chalked the doors of our classrooms to bring our St Joseph's family, & the places we work in, peace in 2026.
