Monday, Dec. 9: Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is a holy day of obligation

Masses will be celebrated: 9am St. Joseph Weare and 7pm St. Vincent Pentwater.

The solemnity which has been transferred to Monday, Dec. 9, is a holy day of obligation this year. Evening Masses on Sunday, Dec. 8, may be used to fulfill the Dec. 9 holy day obligation provided that you also attend a separate Mass to fulfill your Sunday obligation.

The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception celebrates the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on 8 December, nine months before the feast of the Nativity of Mary on 8 September. It is one of the most important Marian feasts in the liturgical calendar of the Roman Catholic Church.

Two Churches, One Parish Family

The Parish of St. Joseph & St. Vincent welcomes you! Our pastor, Rev. Phillip A. Sliwinski, invites you to celebrate Mass with our parish family both in Weare and in Pentwater. We have many ministries for you to engage in and hope that you will find a warm place in your heart to call home. We are a welcoming Catholic community called by God to live out the message of Christ in love and service to all people.

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
 Matthew 28: 18-20 (RSV-CE)
