The Feast of the Immaculate Conception will be celebrated December 8 with Mass at 9am and 7pm.
The Immaculate Conception teaches that from the very moment of her own conception, Mary was preserved from original sin, making her the perfect vessel to bring Jesus Christ, the Savior, into the world. This singular grace highlights the depth of God’s love and foresight, and it underscores how vital Mary is in the story of salvation.
This is a Holy Day of Obligation
