Catholic Mass Online - Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (15 Aug 2025)
Join us for the Solemn Mass of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Holy Day of Obligation in the Catholic Church. Today, we celebrate the moment when Mary, the Mother of God, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory, a sign of hope and promise for all the faithful. The Assumption reminds us of Mary’s unique role in salvation history and her perfect union with Christ. As the first to share fully in the resurrection, she points us toward the destiny that awaits all who follow her Son with faith and love. Mass Celebrated by His Eminence Cardinal William Goh at Church of Our Lady Queen of Peace (QOP). We would like to thank QOP for making this livestream possible. The broadcasts of Masses online are supplements, not substitutes, for physical attendance in church. These recordings of Masses in Singapore Catholic churches, are offered to those who cannot attend in person due to illness, care-giving, or with legitimately valid reasons. For those watching, may you find comfort and strength. "...the Church has legislated that “on Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass.” (CCC 2180, cf Canon Law 1247.) It also states that “unless excused for a serious reason (e.g. illness, the care of infants, or vulnerable to infectious disease) or given dispensation by their own pastor, those who deliberately fail in this obligation commit a grave sin.” (CCC 2181, cf Canon Law 1245). This law is imposed not to make our lives inconvenient but to underscore the grave obligation that active participation in the Sunday Eucharist is vital for Christian life. " Cardinal William Goh (Pastoral Letter, 10 Mar 2023) "... those who hear or view these broadcasts should be aware that, under normal circumstances, they do not fulfill the obligation of attending Mass. Visual images can represent reality, but they do not actually reproduce it.(177) While it is most praiseworthy that the elderly and the sick participate in Sunday Mass through radio and television, the same cannot be said of those who think that such broadcasts dispense them from going to church and sharing in the eucharistic assembly in the living Church." (57. SACRAMENTUM CARITATIS. Pope Benedict XVI) “Because the faithful are obliged to attend Mass unless there is a grave impediment...” (49. DIES DOMINI, St John Paul II ) The Catholic Mass is celebrated all around the world. We are pleased to provide these recordings of Catholic Masses to you in English.
