In light of the Vatican's answer to a query from an American bishop, our parish will help Catholics to keep Monday, December 9th this year as a holy day of obligation in honor of Mary Immaculate, patroness of the United States, with the following schedule of Mass: PRESENTATION at 8 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. (both in Ordinary Form) and SACRED HEART at 11:30 a.m. (Extraordinary Form) with confessions available from 10:45 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.
