HOLY ROSARY CHURCH – STUTTGART: Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord (Observed) to be held May 29

Holy Rosary Church – Stuttgart recently issued the following announcement.

The Ascension of the Lord took place 40 days after Easter, which this year, is celebrated on Ascension Thursday, May 26. However, in most dioceses in the Unites States, including the Diocese of Little Rock, the celebration of this solemnity and holy day of obligation is transferred to the following Sunday, May 29. The Ascension of the Lord is detailed in the Scriptures and in our creeds. Every Sunday, we profess it in the Nicene Creed: “(Jesus) ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.” Jesus’ ascension concluded his work on earth to bring about our redemption that he began on Good Friday. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 662) “Jesus Christ, the head of the Church, precedes us into the Father’s glorious kingdom so that we, the members of his body, may live in the hope of one day being with him forever.” (no. 666)
