Feast of the Immaculate Conception

This morning the entire school celebrated Mass together in honor of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. This is a special feast day to honor Mary. She was born without sin because God knew ahead of time that she was going to be the mother of his son. All other people were born with Original Sin, but Mary was pure. God later sent the Angel Gabriel to ask Mary to be the mother of Jesus. Mary said "Yes." Also on this day we honor the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception. They are a model for everyone in how to love God.

Mary was, and is still, a model for us and we must say yes to GOD and no to sin.
