Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Each August 15th the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  The dogma of the Assumption teaches that at the end of her life, Mary, the mother of Christ, was taken both body and soul into heaven. This is a holy day of obligation. Our parish Mass schedule for this solemnity is as follows:

Thursday, August 14, 2025 - Vigil Masses of the Solemnity of the Assumption:

• 4:00PM - St. Titus. Aliquippa

“The Most Blessed Virgin Mary, when the course of her earthly life was completed, was taken up body and soul into the glory of heaven, where she already shares in the glory of her Son’s Resurrection, anticipating the resurrection of all members of His Body.”
