August 15 is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Since this day falls on a Monday this year, it is not a holy day of obligation. However, for those who would like to attend Mass in honor of the Blessed Virgin on the day of the Solemnity, Mass will be celebrated on August 15 at 9:00 am at Saint Joseph and at 6:00 pm at Saint Francis of Assisi.
