The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Mother.

On August 15, we will celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Mother. We remind you that this is a Holy Day of Obligation and we will have a Vigil Mass on Wednesdsy at 7:00pm in St. Faustyna chapel and a bi-lingual Mass on Thursday at 7:00 pm in the Church. 

The Roman Catholic Church teaches as dogma that the Virgin Mary "having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory." This doctrine was dogmatically and infallibly defined by Pope Pius XII on November 1, 1950, in his Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus. While Catholic dogma leaves open the question of Mary's death before rising to Heaven,
the Eastern Orthodox tradition of the Dormition of the Theotokos teaches that Mary died and then rose to Heaven. In
the churches which observe it, the Assumption is a major feast day, commonly celebrated on August 15. In many countries it is a Catholic Holy Day of Obligation.
