Feast of the Immaculate Conception
We will observe the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on Tuesday, December 10. The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception usually falls on December 8th. This year, December 8th is the Second Sunday of Advent. In general, when a solemnity falls on a Sunday, the observation is moved to Monday. Because we will observe the feast of Saint Juan Diego on Monday, December 9th, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception will be observed on December 10.
