We have received enough photos of Assumption liturgies to make two posts this year, in addition to our special coverage of the major Masses of the vigil in London and the feast itself in Philadelphia, so there is plenty of time to send in more to photopost@newliturgicalmovement.org. As always, we are very grateful to everyone who share these with us - the good work of evangelizing through beauty continues!
