Immaculate Conception

Today we celebrated our titular feast day, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  The mural of the Immaculate Conception dominates the apse of the Basilica.IMG_0514.JPG

Outside it was a fairly nice day for early-December.  The construction workers continued their work on the monastery.
