The Church celebrates the solemn feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, when Our Lady was taken up by God body and soul to heaven, on August 15.
Not only is this a great day of celebration on Mary’s behalf, but her Assumption also prefigures each faithful Christian’s heavenly reward.
While it's not a holy day of obligation this year, we will celebrate two Masses that day at 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM, with the 9:00 AM Mass featuring music. There will be no 8:15 AM Mass.
