Thursday, May 13th, 2021 is the Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Ascension occurred forty days after the Resurrection of the Lord on Easter Sunday. This is a Catholic Holy Day of Obligation. We will celebrate Mass on Wednesday, May 12th at the 6:30PM vigil Mass.
The month of May is a special time for Catholics to pay homage to our Blessed Mother Mary. We pay homage to her. Contrary to misconceptions, we do not worship her. As Catholics, we honor Mary.
Each year, on the Second Sunday of Easter—the last day of the Easter Octave—the Church celebrates the Sunday of Divine Mercy. This year it is April 11th.
