Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary – 15th August 2023
August 15, 2023 @ 6:45 am - 5:30 pm
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Having completed the course of her earthly life, Mary was assumed body and soul into Heaven. Her Assumption reminds us that the heavenly glory is our Christian destiny. As we keep the end of life’s pilgrim journey before us, we join with Mary in praising the greatness of God.
In Australia, the Solemnity of the Assumption is a Holy Day of Obligation.
