Preparation for the Total Consecration to Mary
@Precious Blood, Monday, March 3 – Monday, April 7, 7:00 pm
Join us for five Mondays this Lent as we journey with Mary, our spiritual Mother, to the foot of the cross. Each evening will begin with the Rosary, followed by a presentation from Curtis Kneblik on the Blessed Mother’s role in our spiritual lives and her significance in our path to holiness. Together, we will prepare to make or renew our consecration to Mary using the booklet Preparation for the Total Consecration to the Immaculate according to St. Maximilian Kolbe, which will guide us in offering ourselves fully to our Blessed Mother before Palm Sunday. Let Mary guide you as you take up your cross and follow her to the foot of Christ’s crucifixion, where you too will hear the words: “Behold your Mother” (John 19:27).

Feast of the Immaculate Conception
2024-12-09
Now a Holy Day of Obligation
7:30 AM Holy Trinity
8:30 AM Precious Blood
Noon St. Joseph
5:15 PM Emmanuel
7:00 PM St. Rita

Recent Changes to this Solemnity:
December 8 is the Second Sunday of Advent, so the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is transferred to Monday, December 9. Previously, when the date was transferred, the obligation was abrogated. That will no longer be true.

Earlier this year, Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki, Chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Canonical Affairs and Church Governance, wrote to the Holy See seeking clarification about the obligation to attend Mass when a holy day of obligation in Advent, Lent, or Easter falls on Sunday, and the Solemnity is transferred to Monday. In a memo to the U.S. bishops dated Thursday, October 10, Bishop Paprocki communicated the Dicastery for Legislative Text’s response: “The feast must be observed as a day of obligation on the day to which it is transferred.” In light of this new directive, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception Monday, December 9, 2024, is to be observed as a holy day of obligation.
