The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - 5:30 PM Holy Family Mass

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary commemorates the belief that when Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, died, her body was "assumed" into heaven to be reunited with her soul, instead of going through the natural process of physical decay upon death. This holy day marks the occasion of the Virgin Mary's bodily ascent to heaven at the end of her life. Holy Family - 5:30 p.m.
