The Nativity of Mary
The Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on September 8 is one of the Church's oldest and most joyful Marian Feasts.

Mary's birth marks the beginning of the final preparations for the Coming of the Messiah, and it is the beginning of the New Creation. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains.
