3 Adult Choir practice..there will be practice on Sunday, Dec. 2nd at 6:30 pm. All choir members needed and encouraged to attend! The feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a holy day of obligation in the Church, will be observed on Saturday, Dec. 8. The feast of the Immaculate Conception is a day of obligation for all Catholics to attend Mass. This means that Catholics are required to attend Mass outside of the normal Sunday obligation. Many parishes will celebrate holy day Masses either Friday evening, Dec. 7, or in the morning Dec. 8. A Saturday evening vigil Mass does not count for the obligation. The feast celebrates the truth, declared by Pope Pius IX in 1854, that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was conceived without original sin. Because Mary was free from inheriting the guilt of the first sin committed by Adam and Eve, only she was worthy and freely disposed to be the mother of the savior, the Mother of God. Popularly, it is one of the oldest Marian feasts, dating back to the seventh century. In 1846, Mary was proclaimed patroness of the United States under this title. By her faith, obedience and holiness, she teaches what it means to be a bearer of Christ to the world. In 1991, the U.S. bishops voted to lift the obligation of attending Mass for U.S. Catholics on three specific holy days of obligation whenever those feasts occur on a Saturday or a Monday -- the feast of Mary Mother of God, Jan. 1; the feast of the Assumption, Aug. 15; and the feast of All Saints, Nov. 1. The allowances were approved by the Vatican. All other holy days, including the feast of the Immaculate Conception, continue to be celebrated as holy days of obligation no matter the day of the week on which they fall. Our Parish Christmas Dinner Please mark your calendar; Our Parish Christmas Dinner is on next Sunday, December 9th, starting right after the 10:30 Mass!

The SHCCW appreciates your taking an angel (or two) and returning the angels and money by December 16th so that food baskets can be prepared for the needy & local charities can be supported.
