In 2019, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception falls on the Second Sunday of Advent and is therefore not celebrated as a Holy Day of Obligation this year. The feast day is instead transferred to Monday, Dec. 9. While participation is not obligatory for the faithful this year, St. Gabriel parish will celebrate Mass at 7:00 am, 12:15 pm, and 6:30 pm. All are invited and to offer our thanks and praise on this solemnity.
