Don't Forget to go to Mass on Friday


The Assumption of Mary into Heaven
August 15th is a Holy Day of Obligation.
This is a day on which all Catholics are required to attend Mass.

The Catechism teaches us that:

“Finally; the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death.” The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians.” -CCC #966“

You'll find St. Martin's Mass schedule on our parish website at www.stmartinsweb.com.

Come and eat at the Table of the Lord. Learn about Mary's life in Heaven and the place that God has prepared for each of us in our life to come.

Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us!
