Second Week
 Of Advent!

Immaculate Conception Mass
Wednesday, December 8, at 9:00 a.m. Mass we celebrate the great solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We go to church to worship God for giving us Mary, who was pure, holy, and worthy of becoming the mother of Jesus Christ. God gave Mary the special grace to be completely pure-free from any stain of original sin. This is what we mean when we call her Mary of the “Immaculate Conception.” “Immaculate” means free from the stain of all original sins.

Students are to wear their complete uniform. Please remind your child to not wear shorts for our Immaculate Conception Mass.
