Today is the Feast of The Assumption. My family and I went to Mass this morning. It is actually the only Holy Day of Obligation in Australia! I was invited to go to the Old Rite mass for the feast where my best friend was singing but my Mother dearest needed my help because my Dad is up north attending a Wedding!
Since the fifth century the Church has held implicitly the belief on the Assumption of the Blessed Mother, body and soul, into Heaven. It can be deduced from the Liturgy, from pious documents and the writings of the Fathers and the Doctors of the Church. The Dogma was promulgated by Pius the XII on November 1st, 1950.

In England it's moved to a Sunday so for me it's not the Assumption until tomorrow :)
