Events for the Feast of the Dormition

The Feast of the Dormition of the Most Holy Mother of God

The day of the death of the Most Holy Mother of God is called the Dormition (or falling asleep) in our Church, for her body did not know corruption after death, but together with her soul was taken up into heaven, hence, another name for  the feast is “the Assumption.” 

We have the custom of blessing flowers on the feast of the Dormition.

On August 13-14, 2016, the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate will hold their 62nd Annual Holy Dormition Pilgrimage in Sloatsburg, NY.  Please see their flyer on their website at http://ssmi-us.org/index.php?categoryid=3&p2_articleid=177
