THE ASSUMPTION – HOLYDAY OF OBLIGATION

 The commemoration of the death of the Blessed Virgin Mary (the Dormition, or falling asleep, as it was known in the East) is known as the Assumption because of the tradition that her body did not decay but that she was raised up, body and soul, into heaven. This tradition was already present in the sixth century; by the beginning of the twentieth century, it was widespread; and after consulting the views of bishops all over the world, the Pope formally and infallibly declared the doctrine of the Assumption to be part of the authentic and ancient doctrine of the universal Church.

Our local Mass times for the Holyday are:Wednesday Vigil:7pm Touraneena
Thursday Holyday- 9.30am Ardfinnan
11am Fourmilewater
6.30pm Newcastle
Our Lady assumed into heaven – pray for us who have recourse to thee.
