Mass for the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

While holy days of obligation require Catholics to attend Mass, they can also be seen as unique opportunities in the liturgical year. The Church affords us the opportunity to say yes to God with our presence and participation in the best form of prayer there is—Holy Mass. The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, celebrated August 15, is one of those opportunities!


Join Bishop Burbidge at Mass at the Mother Church of the diocese, The Cathedral of St. Thomas More, in Arlington, or at your local parish for this holy day of obligation honoring our Blessed Mother.
