This weekend we observe one of them, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed One Faith, One Hope, One Love Campaign Update Virgin Mary. This wondrous event, which those who recite Although the 5 year campaign plan has ended for SVF, the Rosary know as the Fourth Glorious Mystery, is there are still some payments being received. Our latest described this way in the Catechism of the Catholic Church disbursement for pledge payments received between (paragraph 966): “The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is January 1 and June 30, 2021 was $4,800.

This is a divinely revealed dogma which all Catholics are bound to accept. Note that Monday, August 16, 2021 the word “assumption” comes from the Middle English 5:00 p.m. School meet & greet “assumpcioun” which means “a taking up into heaven”, and 8:45 p.m. Men’s basketball gym from the Latin “assumptio” which means “a taking.” Pope Pius XII’s pronouncement made official what Tuesday, August 17, 2021 Catholics around the world had believed and celebrated for 8:20 a.m. MassNChurch centuries. While some theologians have speculated about 9:00 a.m. St. Vincent De Paul mtg room B whether Mary actually experienced death, the general consensus among scholars is that she did, in fact, die.
