Solemnity of Immaculate Conception 2024 moved to December 9
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila (RCAM) has announced that the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception will be observed on December 9 instead of December 8.
This change is because December 8 falls on a Sunday, which is the Second Sunday of Advent, and the Advent Sunday takes precedence over the solemnity.
During Masses and the Liturgy of the Hours on the evening of December 7 and the whole day of December 8, the liturgy for the Second Sunday of Advent will be celebrated.
The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, a holy day of obligation, commemorates the conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary without original sin.
The Vatican's Dicastery on Legislative Texts confirmed that the solemnity will still be a holy day of obligation on its moved date.
RCAM encourages the faithful to attend Mass and to educate people about this change with pastoral care.
