Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 2023:
On December 8th (2023) we celebrate God’s plan for our salvation.
On this day we honor how God’s actions allowed the Blessed Virgin Mary to be “preserved immune from all stain of original sin” (Pius IX, quoted in CC 491). Many people confused this with the virgin birth of Jesus; but now we understand why this day is so important and why it is a Holy Day of Obligation.
