Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Outdoor Mass and Candlelight Rosary Procession

8 p.m.

The Grotto Plaza

All are welcome to join us as we celebrate this very special Mass.

God our Father,

As we celebrate today the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven, call all your children to gather together to worship as our thanksgiving to you for this great feast of the Blessed among women. Her Assumption into your presence was your gift to her because of her perfect “Yes” to your will, as she freely and joyfully cooperated with your plan of salvation for all people when she accepted your offer to be the Mother of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. May we, too, say yes every day to your Holy Will, so as to be worthy of that Kingdom prepared by you for those worthy of your love and salvation. Grant all this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
