Save the date! Feasts and Solemnities (March-June 2023)

Every Sunday we celebrate the Day of Resurrection and gather to participate at the Eucharist. We are also called to  worship together on other days dotted through the year, as we rehearse the story of our salvation in Jesus Christ and consecrate each year to him.
These special days are a collection of “feasts” and “solemnities” (or Festivals, or Red Letter Days in former times) marking key moments in the life of Our Lord, Our Lady, and important saints.
Solemnities are days of greatest importance, and a few of these are also “Days of Obligation” (marked with *) when attendance to church is a moral requirement similar to Sundays. On solemnities there will be two celebrations of Mass (one in the morning, one in the evening) to give the opportunity to come to church to greatest possible number of people.
The list below in not complete and it does not include Sundays but it contains the most important feasts which we will celebrate in the parish on weekdays.
​Please, make a note of these in your calendar and make every effort to attend church on these days.
