Today we celebrated The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As a whole school we went to church and took part in a mass to celebrate when Mary was taken to heaven body and soul. This is a very special day within the Catholic Church and it is one that the Church considers a "Holy Day of obligation" This means that as catholics, on this day we should go to mass. The Catholic Church used to have many "Holy Days of Obligation" but over the years this has changed and now there are only two. The other day is Ash Wednesday.
