HAIL MARY: Wed. Dec. 8th is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception (Holy Day of Obligation)

As part of our Advent preparations for the coming of Christ at Christmas, we Catholics in the United States are asked to keep December 8th as a holy day of obligation in honor of Mary Immaculate, the patroness of our beloved country. 

The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, attests to the detail observed by our merciful and provident God in His plan for the salvation of mankind and His preparation of Mother Mary in her role in His plan.  Holy Mass will be offered as follows:  ( Vigil Mass, Tuesday, December 7th) 6:30 p.m. at P.B.V.M.      Wednesday, December 8th:  8 a.m. and 11 a.m., Sacred Heart, and at 6:30 p.m. at Presentation Church.  We look forward to having you join us at Mass!
