Saturday, August 15, is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In accord with the complementary norm to canon 1246 §2 confirmed for the dioceses of the United States of America, because it is a Saturday, this year the obligation to attend Mass on this date is abrogated. Mass will still be offered at St. John’s on Saturday, August, 15 at 8:30am.

God made us body and soul, and these practices are holistic, bringing these parts of us together. Encountering the weaknesses we all have and encountering God there. This is a program to facilitate a NEW encounter with God. Let’s make this Lent not just about giving up, but about being filled up in a new way!
