On December 9
th* this year, the Church will celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, a Holy Day of Obligation. In doing so we will reflect upon our Catholic belief that at the moment Mary was conceived in the womb of her mother, Saint Anne, God intervened and granted Mary a special grace that preserved her from Original Sin. Therefore, because of her sinlessness, Mary could become that worthy vessel through which the Son of God could enter into human history. Mass will be celebrated at the following times:
Monday, December 9th
8:00 AM Saint Anne Church
8:45 AM Saint Winifred Church
6:30 PM Saint Anne Church
*The Holy Day is being transferred to Dec. 9
th so as not to coincide with the 2nd Sunday of Advent on Dec. 8
