Immaculate Conception

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 and a holy day of obligation. Catholics are to attend Mass December 8, or the evening before.
