Not only is this a great day of celebration on Mary’s behalf, but her Assumption also prefigures each faithful Christian’s heavenly reward.
The Assumption is a Holy Day of Obligation, and all Catholics are to attend Mass on Thursday (or Wednesday evening at
5pm). Masses on Thursday will be celebrated at
7am,
8:15am,
5pm, and
7pm.
Please note: to accommodate the extra Masses, there will be
no Confessions on Thursday.
