The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is transferred to December 9 this year. Mass will be celebrated at 9:00 AM. The obligation to attend Mass has been dispensed for this year. The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, celebrated on December 8th, is always a Holy Day of Obligation in the United States. When December 8th falls on a Sunday, the Second Sunday of Advent, its observance is transferred to Monday, December 9th, which is the case this year. This past October 2024, the Holy See clarified that both the observance of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception and the obligation to assist at Holy Mass are transferred to Monday, December 9th. Archbishop Nelson Perez, upon consultation on the matter and in accord with Canon 87 §1, dispenses from the obligation to assist at Holy Mass on Monday, December 9th, 2024. This dispensation is not to minimize the importance of this Solemnity in the life of the clergy and faithful. In fact, Mary, under this title, is the Patroness of the country. Rather, the Archbishop grants this dispensation due to the shortness of time to instruct on this change in observance, with recognition that most calendars are in place without out the possibility to properly observe the obligation and, most of all, to ease the consciences of the faithful. Here at OLPH, we will celebrate Mass on Monday, December 9th as usual at 9:00 AM, with our regular Sunday Mass schedule of 8 AM, 10 AM, and 12 Noon on Sunday, December 8th. Since this dispensation is not universal throughout the United States, it is important to note for the faithful that this is the pastoral decision of the Archbishop for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. | 10 | 11 Bible Study: The Psalms
