The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

A MaryAugust 15, 2019 Holy Day of Obligation
The graces of Jesus' redemption are outside of time and space. Mary is conceived without original sin. In the feast of the Assumption, we celebrate the result of that reality! Mary's soul and body are not separated at the moment of death, nor does her body decay. She is brought up, body and soul, into Heaven. Even in apostolic times, no religious site has claimed the actual body of Mary. Considering the Church's enthusiasm for relics, this is a startling fact! After Christianity became legal in the Roman Empire, the site of her empty tomb became a place of local pilgrimage. On this feast, we remember that just as Jesus has taken care of his mother, he will take care of us!

Rosary Reminder—The Rosary is prayed every morning in the Chapel MF at 8 am and at 8:30 am on Saturday mornings. Please join us in prayer for the special needs, families, country and world.

Deacon Allen Tatara is a dynamic and fiery speaker, preacher, storyteller, musician and evangelizer who ministers to groups of all ages. His talk “When is Enough Enough?” examines the increasing stress levels of young adults and how to change habits in order to keep stress to a minimum by putting God first and finding calm amid the chaos of life.

Matt Kresich has served in a variety of college ministries and has a passion for the young adult Catholic community. Over the years, he’s heard the question countless times, “You’re Catholic? So do you actually believe...” Matt will share some of the top questions he’s come across in his inter-Christian ministry involvement and share tips on how to respond.

Fr Dominic Clemente is a priest for the Archdiocese of Chicago and a brewer (and lover) of beer who was interviewed in a TIME magazine article on Millennial Priests. His talk “And God Saw That it was Good: Beer!” discusses the traditions of beer brewing as well as what the church teaches about alcohol consumption.
