Exactly 40 years ago today, the cornerstone was laid for my parish church of Our Lady of the Assumption. Tonight there will be a special service to pray the rosary, followed by Benediction. (in liberal Albany? This I have to see!)

Thanks. Always curious about these non-biblical dates.

And that leads to the question of how they date the Immaculate Conception (Out of charity I won't question on this thread how they arrived at that doctrine)?

I'm guessing that the Feast of the Immaculate Conception was established as exactly 9 months before the Feast of Our Lady's Nativity...
