Dear parishioners and friends,
Just a reminder that Thursday, Dec. 8, is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, a holy day of obligation. Masses at St. Philip's will be on Thursday, Dec. 8th at 8:30am and 6:00pm.
On this solemnity, we celebrate that (in preparation for the coming of Jesus), Mary was conceived without sin within the womb of her mother, St. Anne. This is why we are able to call Mary "full of grace" - because she is without any sin or blemish. We look forward to celebrating Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Peace,
Fr. Lewis
