The Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord

Pray for all mothers facing crisis pregnancies and discern what actions you can take to support them.

The celebration of the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord commemorates the visit of the angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary to inform her that she was to be the mother of our Savior.

Join us at any one of our participating parishes in the ADW area for Mass on this Feast day. Please contact the parish directly to confirm Mass times and more detailed information.

The Basilica of the Nations Shrine of the Immaculate Conception will have Mass for the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord at multiple dates and times. All are welcome.

At the Annunciation, God revealed the Good News to the Virgin Mary, inviting her into salvation history. In saying yes, Mary agreed to God’s plan, despite the fears, sufferings, and unknowns that came with it. It is on this day that we celebrate the Incarnation: God becoming one with us. Mary is the instrument for the Incarnation, the link between heaven and earth. In her holiness she received inside of her the infinite love of God, revealing to us the potential of our humanity, what we are all called to.

Respectlife.org provides an action guide to this day available in PDF format and a video webinar.

Franciscan Media share with us an audio recording of the Story of the Annunciation of the Lord.
