In the midst of the month of August, we celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary this upcoming week, a wonderful feast day dedicated to our Blessed Mother. The Assumption is a holy day of obligation for us Catholics. I know that sometimes there is a bit of confusion as to whether the holy day of obligation retains that obligatory identity if it falls on a certain day of the week. To me, what matters most is that we should want to go to Mass on that day to celebrate our faith in this particular way, not worrying about whether we are obligated to do so or not. Mary is our mother in heaven, but she is also our mother here on earth who accompanies us on our journey of faith. We hope to see you at Mass on Friday to celebrate the Assumption. Blessings to all of you - Father Lincoln.
