Thursday 15th August - Assumption of Mary


An interesting discussion on tomorrow's Feast can be read here. I must confess that the details of the observance of the Feast in the Eastern Church were new to me. One thing that comes over very clearly in Dr Taylor Marshall's post is the antiquity of this teaching and of the Feast. Although the formal definition of the doctrine of the Assumption by Pius XII did not take place until 1950, the Feast was observed, the doctrine held throughout the Church from at least the middle of the first Christian millennium.

Mass at St Wilfrid's for the Feast of the Assumption, 9.45am and 7.30pm.
It is a Holy Day of Obligation so we should all be at Mass.
