Hello Catholic Retrievers,

Just a reminder that this Wednesday, December 8th, is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, which is a Holy Day of Obligation. This means that the Church asks us to attend Mass on this day. (But forget about the obligation - it's an opportunity to come together to worship our God and to honor the Blessed Mother!)

Unfortunately, we are not able to have Mass on campus this year - but Our Lady of Victory has three Masses for the feast day: 7pm vigil Mass on Tues. the 7th, 8am on Wed. the 8th, and 12pm on Wed. the 8th. Carpooling is available for all of these Masses if you would like a ride there. We are also in need of people who are able to drive! If you need a ride or have a car and are available to drive to any of these Masses, please sign up at this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J-HYeE9aCmtPQaeUMS99aHu5GmAaPzNMN7tScdKiUOQ/edit?usp=sharing

Happy second week of Advent! Praying for you all as finals approach.

Peace and all good,

Shannon O'Toole

UMBC Campus Minister
