What’s happening:
Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary (12/9)
This year, since December 8th falls on a Sunday, the day of obligation was moved. In the past, here in the United States, when the day was transferred to another day the obligation did not transfer. However, a clarification was given by Rome that instructed the Bishops of the United States that, according to Canon Law, the obligation also must transfer. Thus, Monday, December 9th we will celebrate the Immaculate Conception and it is a day of obligation.
Monday, December 9

Daily Prayer of the Month (November)
Heavenly Father,
We remember the saints to whom we pray and all the souls of the faithful departed. We thank all veterans for their service to our country. May we be generous to the poor as written in the Old and New testaments. We appeal to You for an end to abortion and the wisdom to eradicate disease. On Thanksgiving, may we be grateful for all we have been given especially to have been born in this blessed country. We recall the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. May we continue our evangelization efforts in following the Apostle, Andrew. We pray for the health and direction of Pope Francis. We ask these in recognition of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
Amen.
