We will be celebrating the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary (a Holy day of obligation) on Monday, December 9th with a 7am Mass and 6:30pm Mass at St. Francis Church. This solemnity which usually is celebrated on December 8th but falls on the second Sunday of Advent this year has been moved to December 9th. The Immaculate Conception refers to the dogma that the Blessed Virgin Mary was conceived without any stain of Original Sin. No sin would touch her, so that she would be a fitting and worthy vessel of Jesus, the Son of God.
