Laudetur Iesu Christus! Tomorrow is the Vigil of the Assumption and Thursday is the great Feast of the Assumption. Here are the Mass times as we current know them:

Vigil of the Assumption August 14:

The normal Wednesday evening Latin Masses are still scheduled (6:00pm Low Mass St. Ann, and 7:00pm High Mass, St. Thomas Aquinas).

Also, as you may have read in Sunday’s bulletin, Fr. Reid is encouraging everyone to fast from something this day as it used to be custom that Vigil days (the day before a great feast) were days of fasting, to prepare us for the great feast day.

Feast of the Assumption Thursday August 15: This is a Holy Day of obligation. The Masses are:

8:15am (Low) – St. Michael in Gastonia (this schedule has been confirmed)

7:00 pm (Solemn High) – St. Ann

Looking ahead, the following Saturday August 24^th, St. Ann parish will have a Respect Life Latin Mass at 8:00am, followed by a Rosary at the Planned Parenthood facility.
