St. Francis Xavier Parish will offer two Masses in celebration of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Dec. 8. [Please note: The solemnity is not a holy day of obligation this year.]

Mass will be offered at 7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 7, and 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 8, in the church. Holy Communion will be available during both Masses to those listening in the parking lot on 101.5 FM. The Monday evening Mass will be livestreamed on our YouTube channel.

Through the centuries the Church has become ever more aware that Mary, “full of grace” through God, was redeemed from the moment of her conception.
