I presented it to him after Mass. I found a small stub of one of my children's chalks. Most Priests seem quite happy to bless items they are presented with, though it would be nice if it was officially done, and explained to parishoners, and there was a whole basket full to share out. It would make me feel less like the lone nut job "bothering" Father. Thanks for the reminder.
