Immaculate Conception
Saint Benedict will celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on Monday, December 9. Masses will be celebrated at 8:30am and 7:00pm.
Although the Immaculate Conception is traditionally celebrated on December 8, it is transferred to Monday, December 9 since the date falls on the Second Sunday of Advent. Advent Sundays—as the highest form of liturgical celebration—are not superseded by other celebrations. The Immaculate Conception will be celebrated as a Holy Day of Obligation even though the date is transferred.
