NO Mother of Perpetual Help Novena & Mass.

Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception

Solemnity of Immaculate Conception
(NOT a Holy Day of Obligation)

Dispensation given in 2024 in the Diocese of San Jose from the obligation to attend the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception Masses.

“…given the relatively short notice of this clarification, in the Diocese of San Jose, in accordance with Canon 87, §1, I am granting a dispensation, this year only, to the Catholic Faithful from the obligation to attend Mass on Monday, December 9. While the obligation will no longer be in effect this year, I encourage those who are able to attend Mass on this holy day, as a way to honor the Blessed Mother and to ask for her intercession for our country.”

What is a Holy Day of Obligation?

A Holy Day of Obligation is a religious feast day where Catholics are obligated to attend Mass. On Sundays and other holy days of obligation, the faithful are to refrain from engaging in work or activities that hinder the worship owed to God, the joy proper to the Lord’s Day, the performance of the works of mercy, and the appropriate relaxation of mind and body.

Family needs or important social service can legitimately excuse from the obligation of Sunday rest.

Fatima Pilgrimage Mass

This month, the special Our Lady of Fatima Pilgrimage Mass with Rosary, Eucharistic Benediction, and Blessing of the Faithful will take place on Tuesday, October 13 at 7:00 PM in the main parking lot.

Mass in the parking lot procedure

The only entrance/exit will be from Our Lady’s Way. There will be a security guard and volunteers who will direct you to your parking spots. Everyone will be lined up in rows to ensure safe entry and exit.

Please stay in your vehicle at all times, unless you need to line up for confession or use the restroom. If you need to exit your car for those reasons, please alert one of the volunteers (in the neon vests). The restrooms that are designated for public use are only in the Family Learning Center.
The vehicles will also need to remain at least six feet apart.
We will broadcast the Mass on an FM radio signal so that you can follow along from your vehicle and we will announce the station to you upon arrival. The station we are currently using is 92.9 FM>
Collection baskets will not to be passed during the liturgy. You will be able to place your weekly gift in a basket as you enter or exit your section or the parking lot. We strongly encourage online giving via the parish website (olop-shrine.org), as it minimizes contact and processing. Mailing your envelope to the parish office is always an option as well. We count on your continued financial support–many thanks to those who have contributed online!
Eucharistic ministers will walk to each car. Please turn on your hazard lights and make sure the car windows are down before the Eucharistic Minister arrives.
After the final blessing, parishioners should remain in their place. You will be dismissed in an orderly fashion.

We also plan on live streaming the Fatima mass, so you are welcome to tune in at www.olop-shrine.org/coronavirus/olop-online/ or click on the links below.

Remember to submit your prayer intentions to be placed at the feet of Our Lady of Fatima!

In unity with our Catholic brothers and sisters around the world, please join a mass effort by Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church and Shrine in petitioning our Lady of Fatima to intercede on our behalf, for the suffering of the sick and afraid, for the economic hardships faced worldwide, and for everyone keeping basic operations running and serving those in need.
