On November 1, 1950, Pope Pius XII said to the crowd that had gathered at St. Peter’s Square, that ‘the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.”
On August 15, we celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. While this is usually a Holy Day of Obligation, because it falls on a Monday, the Archdiocese has lifted the obligation to attend Mass. The faithful, however, are encouraged to attend Mass on this day.
To make it easier for us to attend mass on this day, Fr. Jean Pierre has added a 6pm Mass at Blessed Sacrament along with the 9am Mass at St. Mary’s.
