Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception to be Transferred to Monday, December 9th in 2024

In 2024, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary will be celebrated on Monday, December 9th for those in the U.S.A., Canada, and some other countries, and in some areas it is a Holy Day of Obligation (it is necessary to attend Mass). Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki, Chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Canonical Affairs and Church Governance, wrote to the Holy See seeking clarification about the obligation to attend Mass when a holy day of obligation in Advent, Lent, or Easter falls on Sunday and the Solemnity is transferred to Monday. In a memo to the U.S. bishops dated October 10, Bishop Paprocki communicated the Dicastery for Legislative Text’s response: “the feast must be observed as a day of obligation on the day to which it is transferred.” In light of this new directive, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception Monday, December 9, 2024 is to be observed as a holy day of obligation. Since Sundays of Advent outrank solemnities on the Table of Liturgi...

A Priest Prevents Desecration of the Eucharist During Holy Mass

A priest prevented a man from taking the consecrated Host without consuming it. This happened in the sanctuary of Santa Lucía in the Diocese of Santa Rosa de Copan, in Honduras, on Dec. 13 (the feast day of Saint Lucy). The P. Nery Adalberto Gómez Perez, parish priest of San Marcos the Evangelist in Ocotepeque, was the celebrant, having been invited to the shrine. Waiting for his turn, a man placed himself before the priest, who uttered the words "the body of Christ" without getting a response from the man. With the consecrated host sticking out of his mouth, the man turned around to return to his place in the pews of the church, but the priest immediately noticed the situation. First he pointed at him with his hand, but then he was forced to approach the man at his seat to demand that he return the sacred host. The priest retrieved the Eucharist and returned to the sanctuary. (SEE VIDEO on Facebook at the 1:06:18 Mark) After reserving the sanctified Eucharist, the priest co...
