Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Holy Day of Obligation

The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary commemorates the death and assumption of Mary, body and soul, into heaven and is a Holy Day of Obligation. The Masses for this year’s Solemnity will be held on Friday, August 15, at 8:30 AM, 12:30 PM, and 6:00 PM. The Vigil Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, August 14, at 6:00 PM.

Summer Travel Selfie Challenge!

As you head out on your summer adventures, don’t forget to pack your faith along with your sunscreen! Whether you’re in the mountains, at the beach, or exploring a new city, we’d love to see you and /or your family at Mass wherever your travels take you.

Snap a quick selfie at the church you visit—inside or out—and share it with us! We’ll be posting a display of our parish family attending Mass around the globe on social media. It’s a beautiful way to stay connected and to remind ourselves (and others!) that there’s no vacation from Mass.

Faith in Action

Parish Ministry Fair - Save the Date

Find your place. Share your gifts. Our parish ministry fair is August 23 and 24. We hope to see you there!

Did you know...?

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul exists first and foremost to help its members grow in holiness through service to those in need. Yes, we help our neighbors—but the heart of our mission is the transformation that happens in us when we serve with compassion, humility, and love.

Every visit to a Neighbor in Need, every conversation, every act of help is an opportunity to encounter Christ—and be changed by that encounter.

Come visit the SVDP booth at the Ministry Fair on August 23 - 24 to learn how serving others can also shape your own journey of faith or email us at SVDP@HSCCATL.com.
