On this day, December 8, 2025, we prepare to honor the luminous solemnity of the Immaculate Conception—a celebration that calls us to reflect on the grace bestowed upon the Blessed Virgin Mary. As our community readies itself for the upcoming Eucharistic gathering, we embrace this moment of devotion, remembering Mary’s pure and faithful “yes” that changed the course of salvation.

This feast invites us to recognize Mary as the Mother of Jesus and to contemplate the mystery of Christ—true God and true man—whose coming into the world reveals God’s boundless love. May this sacred day inspire peace, unity, and renewed faith within our hearts.
