If your church didn't make it up, where'd it come from??? It's certainly not in the scripture... Christians can easily see the Immaculate Conception in Scripture (especially if the third chapter of Genesis and the first chapter of Luke are read together).
The Assumption of the Blessed Mother comes from sacred tradition, it was witnessed by the Apostles and it is also alluded to in Scripture. The anti-Catholic statement that it was "made up" in the 20th century requires the complete denial of historical facts that show that it has been celebrated since the 4th century.
