August Feasts and Celebrations

August 8 – St. Dominic (1221) Journeying through France, Dominic was alarmed by the popularity of Albigensian heretics who threatened the Church. They rejected material comforts while many Catholic preachers traveled in luxury. Dominic became an itinerant preacher like the Apostles and founded the Order of Preachers, “Dominicans.”

August 10 – St. Lawrence (258) A Roman deacon to Pope St. Sixtus, II, Lawrence grieved when Sixtus was martyred but rejoiced when it was predicted that Lawrence would be martyred a few days later. Instead of giving in to Roman demands for the Church’s material treasure, Lawrence gathered the poor and destitute and presented them as the Church’s treasure. He was martyred shortly afterwards.

August 15 - Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Declared a dogma of our faith in 1950 by Pope Pius XII, the Assumption celebrates Mary being taken up into Heaven body and soul at the end of her life.

It is a Holy Day of Obligation requiring Mass attendance.
