All Saints - Immaculate Conception - and more

The Chancellor of the Diocese of Savannah makes the following announcements:

• SOLEMNITY OF ALL SAINTS: The Solemnity of All Saints is Friday, November 1 and is a Holy Day of Obligation. [Please note: Mass at Nativity on Nov. 1 is at 7 pm]
• SOLEMNITY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION: The celebration of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, December 8th, falls on the Second Sunday of Advent and is, therefore, transferred to Monday, December 9th. However, December 9th is NOT a Holy Day of Obligation. The Solemnity is transferred, but the obligation to attend mass is not transferred. [Please note: Mass at Nativity on Dec. 9 is at 7 pm]
• THE CARMELITES: October 15, 2013 is not only the feast of St. Teresa of Avila, but also the 55th Anniversary of the opening Our Lady of Confidence Carmelite Monastery in Savannah! The nuns still pray for the people and priests of the Diocese of Savannah in their life of contemplation. They have been praying for us all since 1958! Please congratulate them and show them your support (www.carmelofsavannah.org)!  [See also this article on Nativity's blog.]
  

To this we add: Mass at Nativity for THANKSGIVING will be the evening before ("anticipated Mass"), Wednesday, November 27 at 5:00 p.m.
