Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Solemnity of the Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin Mary

Patroness of the Diocese of Trenton

Saturday, August 15

In accord with the directives of the United States Conference of Bishops, when the Solemnity of the Assumption falls on a Saturday or a Monday, the obligation to assist at Mass is lifted. However, the faithful are encouraged to attend Mass.

This being the case, our parish will celebrate the Mass of Our Lady’s Assumption at 9:00 AM on Saturday.

Almighty and everlasting God,
You have taken up body and soul into the heavenly glory
the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Your Son:
Grant, we beseech You, that, ever intent upon heavenly things,
we may be worthy to be partakers of her glory.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
