Wednesday August 15 is not only the first day of school for many, it is also the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
This day is a Holy Day of Obligation.
This gives our whole community the opportunity to join together, to thank God for the gift of eternal life as exemplified in Mary's being taken up into heaven, and to ask God's blessing upon our new school year. In an attempt to fit everyone's schedule at this busy time of year, we have many Masses for the Holy Day: the Vigil Mass at 4pm on Tuesday August 14, and the following Masses on August 15: 8:15am, 10:00 amwith Mary Queen School, 6pm, and 7:30pm in the Spanish language.
