Jan. 1 is the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. While this remains a holy day, as has been the custom in the Diocese of Salt Lake City, Bishop John C. Wester has dispensed from the obligation of attending Mass. Nonetheless, all are encouraged to participate in the Eucharist on this feast to celebrate the birth of the Lord, honor the Blessed Mother and pray for God’s blessing on the new calendar year.
