Celebrated every year on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary commemorates the death of Mary and her bodily assumption into Heaven, before her body could begin to decay—a foretaste of our own bodily resurrection at the end of time. Because it signifies the Blessed Virgin's passing into eternal life, it is the most important of all Marian feasts. Sacred Heart will celebrate with Masses at 8 AM, 12 PM and 7 PM.  This year the Assumption falls on a Monday so it is not Holy Day of Obligation.
