Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes
On December 8, 1854, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in the apostolic constitution Ineffabilis Deus. A little more than three years later, on February 11, 1858, a young lady appeared to Bernadette Soubirous. This began a series of visions. During the apparition on March 25, the lady identified herself with the words: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” Enroll a loved one, to be remembered during this Mass celebration. Ask Our Lady to cast a merciful glance upon your intention for one who may be suffering or struggling. May our Mother's intercession to her Son, Jesus, grant hope and peace to your loved one. |
Easter Sunday ~ Our Lord is Risen!
At Easter, we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ and his victory over sin and death. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus gives us new life and new hope. Your loved one will be remembered during this special Mass. |
All Souls' Day
Today, we celebrate All Souls Day. On this day and throughout the month of November, we remember and pray for the souls of our loved ones who still mean so very much to us. The passing of our loved ones is the beginning of eternal life with Christ. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. Send to us at the National Shrine Grotto the names of your loved ones, and they will be remembered at Mass on All Souls Day and throughout the month of November. |
