Sunday, New Year’s Day, is the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God; it is also the World Day of Prayer for Peace. There will be a 4:00PM Vigil Mass on Saturday December 31 and a 10:00AM Mass on New Year’s Day.
As we enter a new year, let us pray that peace will prevail on earth and that each of us, like Mary, “may keep all these things, reflecting on them in our hearts.” (cf. Luke 2: 19)
