Tuesday, August 14: The Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary commemorates the death of Mary and her bodily assumption into Heaven, before her body could begin to decay—a foretaste of our own bodily resurrection at the end of time. Because it signifies the Blessed Virgin’s passing into eternal life, it is the most important of all Marian feasts and a Holy Day of Obligation.

Join us for our Vigil Mass of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, celebrated by Bishop Malone, at which time our new Mary Statue will be blessed. Mass is at 5; coffee and baked goods to follow. 

 

 


Thursday, August 23: Join us on a visit to the Reliquary at St John Gualbert Church, where Fr Mike will present information on the large (over 1,100!) relic collection. We will gather at St John Gualbert at noon, with the presentation beginning at 1. Refreshments to follow. Phone Dolores Slazak: 675-2420, to sign up for this interesting experience.
