Immaculate Conception Masses, transferred to Dec. 9 this year

This year, December 8 falls on a Sunday, and the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is transferred to Monday, December 9. We will have two Masses at the Basilica on December 9:  a 12pm English Mass, celebrated by Bishop Beckman, and a 6pm Traditional Novus Ordo Mass. Bishop Beckman has dispensed the faithful from the usual obligation to attend Mass on this holy day because it falls on a Monday. 

Please note, Bishop Beckman’s dispensation only applies to people who are physically within the boundaries of the Diocese of Knoxville on Monday. Not every Diocese has offered this dispensation.
