A Mass and procession in honor of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 8. The Mass, hosted by St. Patrick Church, will be followed by a candlelight procession to the Holy Vietnamese Martyrs Mission.

The group, accompanied by a police escort, will process with the Blessed Sacrament (weather permitting) and a statue of Mary. Participants will pray the rosary during the procession.

The Mass will begin at 7:30 p.m. and the procession will begin immediately after Mass. All are invited to attend this special way of honoring the Mother of our Lord on her feast day.

The event is sponsored by the Immaculate Conception Celebration Committee. This is the first year the event will be held at this location. In past years, the Mass was held at Sacred Heart Church in Atlanta, with a procession to the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

Attendees are advised to dress for the weather. Those with children are encouraged to bring strollers for the procession.

St. Patrick’s is located at 2140 Beaver Ruin Road, Norcross.
