The Ascension of the Lord

SOLEMNITY OF THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD IS SUNDAY MAY 29

Thursday, May 26 is NOT a holy day of obligation...the Feast of the Ascension is celebrated on Sunday, May 29. The Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops voted in the year 2000 to transfer the Solemnity of the Ascension from the Thursday, forty-days after Easter to the Seventh Sunday of Easter, in accord with an indult granted to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops by the Holy See. Therefore, for the Catholic Churches in the Province of the State of Florida, the Seventh Sunday of Easter is replaced by the Solemnity of the Ascension. The only ecclesiastical provinces that continue to celebrate this feast on Thursday are Boston, Hartford, New York, Newark, Philadelphia, and Omaha (the state of Nebraska).

Religious Freedom Week 2022: Life and Dignity for All (June 22-29)

Religious freedom allows the Church, and all religious communities, to live out their faith in public and to serve the good of all. Beginning June 22, the feast of Ss. Thomas More and John Fisher, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) invites Catholics to pray, reflect, and act to promote religious freedom. For more information and extended daily reflections on the topics below click here.

June 22 – Walking with Moms in Need: Pray that local churches and communities will have the vision and the freedom to walk with moms in need.

June 23 – Church Vandalism: Pray that Christian witness in the face of attacks on our churches will convert hearts to faith in Jesus Christ.

June 24 – Adoption and Foster Care: Pray that people of faith will continue to have the freedom to serve in the life-affirming ministry of adoption and foster care.

June 25 – Taxpayer Funding for Abortion: Pray that civic leaders would promote life and dignity for all.

June 26 – Religious Freedom in China: Pray for the freedom of the Church in China, and that the rights of all religious minorities would be respected.

June 28 – Health Care Workers: Pray that governments will respect the consciences of all people who care for the sick and vulnerable.
