This coming Friday, August 15, is the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady into heaven. As usual on major feasts, Mass times are as for Sunday: Vigil Mass on Thursday evening, 14 August, 19:00, and the main English-language Mass for the Feast is on Friday at 11:15. This feast, called in the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox churches  The’Dormition’  or ‘Falling Asleep’ of Our Lady, celebrates the reception of the Mother of God into the glory of heaven at the end of her life. All are welcome!
