solemnity of the Assumption of Mary - Holy day

Wednesday, August 15 is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a holy day of obligation.

On this feast day of Our Lady we celebrate God's crowning of His work in the Blessed Mother as she ends her earthly life and enters eternity. The Assumption completes God's work in Mary since it was not fitting that the flesh that had given life to God himself should ever undergo corruption. This feast turns our eyes in that direction, where we will follow when our earthly life is over.

Mass Schedule for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Wednesday, August 15 – 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Mass
7:30 p.m. Misa en español

NO 5:15 p.m. CONFESSIONS and NO 6:45 Mass on Wednesday, August 15.

The Rosary will be prayed 30 minutes before each Mass.
