This year, because it falls on a Saturday, we will include this special intention at the 5:30 PM Saturday evening Mass on December 28, to be followed by a reception in the Assembly Place for all families and friends of those who have lost children, and also remember those who have perished through abortion, miscarriage, starvation, and wars throughout the world.

Food and games will be available throughout the day. Bring your friends. SOLEMN OPENING OF THE HOLY YEAR 2025 Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has set, throughout the world, a special Holy Year of Hope and opens the Holy Door in Rome on Christmas Eve. For the dioceses throughout the world, he has instructed bishops to solemnly open this special Holy Year on the Feast of the Holy Family. Next Sunday, Bishop Tyson will officially and solemnly begin this year at the 11:00 AM English Mass and the 1:00 PM Spanish Mass - a Year of Hope in a world which, in many ways, is despairing of peace and security. Join us and our Bishop next Sunday! We will also celebrate the renewal of marriage vows and the blessing of Families on this special Feast Day. If you join us for one of these Masses, please gather in or outside the Assembly Place for the initial stage of our celebration (procession).
