Happy Feast of Our Lady of Loretto
Join us for mass tonight at 7:30pm and reception after in the basement of the church.
The Feast Day of Our Lady of Loreto is December 10. Tradition holds that the Holy House of Loreto is where the Blessed Virgin Mary was born, where the Annunciation of the Lord occurred, and where the Holy Family lived. According to legend, in 1291 the Virgin Mary’s house was miraculously transported by angels from the Holy Land after the Muslim defeat of the Crusaders. The house settled first in Dalmatia and then, in 1294, came to rest at Loreto, on the Adriatic coast of Italy, where it became a place of pilgrimage.
