Feast of the Immaculate Conception (Pictures)

What does the "Immaculate Conception" mean?

God freely chose Mary from all eternity to be the Mother of his Son. In order to carry out her mission she herself was conceived immaculate. This means that, thanks to the grace of God and in anticipation of the merits of Jesus Christ, Mary was preserved from original sin from the first instant of her conception.

(From The Compendium Catechism of the Catholic Church, Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2006)

Remember today is a holy day of obligation. If you did not get the chance to join our students at the school Mass this morning, please plan to attend the 7:00 Mass this evening at Visitation Church, or the evening Mass at your parish.

Here are some pictures from this morning's Mass, sponsored by the second grade and celebrated by Fr. Bryan:
