Gladden us with holy joys, almighty God, and make us rejoice with devout thanksgiving, for the Ascension of Christ your Son is our exaltation, and, where the Head has gone before in glory, the Body is called to follow in hope. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Pope Francis

The Ascension of the Lord May 13, 2018

Pope Francis has called on the global church to celebrate the New Obligatory

Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, on the Monday after

Pentecost.

To commemorate this inaugural memorial honoring Our Blessed Mother, Archbishop

José H. Gomez is inviting all people of faith throughout the Archdiocese to a special

Mass that he is celebrating on Monday, May 21 at noon at the Cathedral of Our Lady

of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles. There will be a Crowning of the Blessed

Virgin Mary Ceremony at the Mass.

Faithful will be invited to write prayer intentions to Our Blessed Mother before or after

the Mass. The prayer intentions will be delivered to the Basilica of Our Lady of

Guadalupe in Mexico City in July as part of the annual Archdiocesan pilgrimage with

Archbishop Gomez.

For more information, please visit:

http://www.la-archdiocese.org/Pages/Mary-Feast-Day.aspx or

http://www.usccb.org/about/divine-worship/liturgical-calendar/mother-of-the-church.cfm

May our Blessed Mother Mary intercede for all of us as we approach this special

memorial.
