Because the Solemnity of the Assumption falls on Saturday, August 15, 2026, the faithful are not obligated to attend an additional Mass beyond their regular Sunday obligation.  Canon 1246, §2 – Holy Days of Obligation

However we warmly invite you to join us in celebrating this great solemnity at the 9:00 a.m. Mass on Saturday, August 15, 2026.

“The feast of the assumption of our Lady prompts us to acknowledge the basis for this joyful hope. Yes, we are still pilgrims, but our mother has gone on ahead, where she points to the reward of our efforts. She tells us that we can make it. And, if we are faithful, we will reach home.”

~St. Josemaria Escriva, Christ is Passing By

In a world where women are measured by their beauty, achievements, and possessions, wouldn’t it be nice to find a place where you could just be valued for who you are? Living in the Father’s Love will lead you to that safe place where you are unconditionally loved, baggage and all. This brief but powerful Bible study is the ideal way to revive and refresh yourself.

Join us for Living in the Father’s Love to discover
just how much God loves us and how the Gospels
are deeply relevant to our relationship with God and
with those we love.

Please join us for the 11th Annual Ride for Vocations! Each year, a group of priests, seminarians, and laypeople from across The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington participate in a distance ride as a way to promote vocations through prayer, sacrifice, and raising financial support. The Ride for Vocations Team invites cyclists of all experience levels to join us for our Southern Maryland Catholic Churches Century. On Saturday, September 26, 2026, leaving from Sacred Heart, LaPlata, you can ride the 100, 70, or 50-mile, 21-miles distance.

To guarantee that you will receive a Ride t-shirt, please register by September 4, 2026.

Donate to Ride for Vocations

In the past, the donations raised during the Ride for Vocations have enabled us to fund many vocations events that have been incredibly fruitful. All funds are restricted for the use of supporting our current seminarians and vocations promotion. Our goal has always been $250 per participant. While the donations are helpful, your prayers and sacrifice are most beneficial for our seminarians.
For more information on donating to the Office of Priest Vocations, please click here or contact the Vocations Director, Fr. Mark Ivany.

Congratulations to the dozens of young people who have come close to Jesus and his Church through the Sacrament of Confirmation. Come Holy Spirit Come!

What a beautiful Mother’s Day to Crown our Heavenly Mother. Thank you to all the children who honored our Lady in such a reverent way. A special thank you to the parent volunteers and members of the Sodality of Our Lady for organizing the morning.
