The Brooklyn Oratory Parishes

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Boniface

July 28, 2022

Online giving: https://oratorychurch.org/onlinegiving

Solemnity of the Assumption

The Solemnity of the Assumption will be celebrated on August 15 with Masses celebrated at the following times:

12:10pm at St. Boniface

6:00pm at Assumption (with music)

Since this is the patronal feast of Assumption Parish, after Mass we will gather outside (weather permitting) for Prosecco, soft drinks, and appetizers. If you would like to bring an appetizer to share, please email Maria Pluchinotta mpluchinotta@yahoo.com, so we can plan accordingly.

Please note that since this solemnity falls on a Monday, the obligation to attend Mass is lifted.
