The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a day set aside to celebrate the first moment of the life of Our Lady, and in particular the gracious act of God to preserve her from original sin. It is also the patronal feast day of the United States.
Masses for the Immaculate Conception
Monday, December 9, 2019*
8:15 a.m.
5:00 p.m.
Typically, the Immaculate Conception is celebrated on December 8, but this year it is moved to Monday, December 9 to accommodate the second Sunday of Advent.
As a result, the Immaculate Conception is not a holy day of obligation this year.
As such, Nativity of Our Lord will follow our
regular Monday Mass schedule*, with Masses at 8:15 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
