The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception

"The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin."

As we celebrate this great Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, try to ponder the incomprehensible nature of the Mother of God. Knowing that she is an impenetrable mystery will help us honor her with the reverence and awe she deserves. The best news of all to ponder is that this perfect creation of God is not a distant icon to adore, she is our own caring mother, a mediatrix of God’s grace. Her tender care for her children will never waver, and her intercession will always bring to us all good things we need to achieve salvation.

Twice as nice!

Faithful bring Eucharist to Auburn's campus

Auburn Catholic Campus Ministry, serving under St. Michael the Archangel Parish in Auburn, recently held a Eucharistic procession on the campus of Auburn University.

The ministry makes a procession twice a year in order to bring the presence of Christ in the Eucharist to the Auburn campus. The evening began and ended at Langdon Hall, with stops along the route at major buildings on campus, including Jordan-Hare Stadium. The faithful spent some time at each stop in silence to adore Our Lord and hear a reading from Sacred Scripture.
