Celebrations. Also the grounds are
cleaned and maintained on a regular
basis. Please keep our shrine clean
and tidy on your visit. Please note old candles can be placed
in the containers underneath the various shrines.
The Assumption
Celebrated every year on August 15, the
Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin Mary commemorates the death of
Mary and her bodily assumption into
Heaven, before her body could begin to
decay--a foretaste of our own bodily
resurrection at the end of time. Because it
signifies the Blessed Virgin's passing into
eternal life, it is the most important of all Marian feasts and a Holy Day
of Obligation.
