Immaculate Conception

We celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, a Holy Day of Obligation, on December 8. In 1854, Pope Pius IX declared the dogma of the Immaculate Conception: The Most Holy Virgin Mary was, in the very first moment of her conception, by a unique gift of grace and privilege of Almighty God and in view of the merits of Jesus Christ the Redeemer of mankind, preserved free from all stain of original sin.” (Ineffabilis Deus, Apostolic Constitution of Pope Pius IX on the Immaculate Conception)

Our Lady of Guadalupe

Patron of Mexico, The Americas
In 1531, the Blessed Mother appeared four times to St. Juan Diego asking for a church to be built in her honor. The last time she appeared to St. Juan, on December 12th, 1531, she arranged roses in his tilma, which he then took to the bishop. When he opened his cloak, the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe was miraculously present on the tilma.

Christmas

The Church celebrates the “marvelous works of God” through public worship, or liturgy, commemorating the great events in salvation history. The Nativity of Our Lord celebrates the point in history when the Son of God became Man for our Salvation – an act of loving obedience to the Father, and saving love for us, that will culminate on the Cross.

St. Stephen

Patron of Deacons, Stone Masons, Headaches and those who suffer them
St. Stephen was one of the first seven deacons of the Church and became the first Christian martyr. Stephen was stoned to death in 36 A.D. We celebrate the feast day of St. Stephen on December 26. This date, the day after Christmas, is a reminder that Christ is the only person who “came into the world to die,” as Ven. Fulton Sheen remarked in his Life of Christ. St. Stephen was the first to conform to Him in His death.
