Holy Day of Obligation
Wednesday, August 15, 2018 is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blesssed Virgin Mary. On the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we celebrate the Blessed Mother’s assumption into heaven, body and soul, at the end of her earthly life. Although it is the oldest of the feasts celebrating Mary, dating back to the fourth – sixth centuries, it wasn’t until 1950 that Pope Pius XII formally defined it as a dogma of the Catholic Church. Please join us at St. Mary Church, 613 Cherry St. for Holy Day Mass at 12:05 pm.
