Each year, the Feast Day Mass is a special event for parishioners, friends, staff members and pilgrims.  

The Feast Day of Our Lady of Victory (Oct. 7) serves as the anniversary of the surprising -- but decisive -- victory of the combined fleet of the Holy League of 1571 over the Ottoman navy at the Battle of Lepanto.  In response, Pope Pius V instituted the feast to commemorate the victory, which he attributed to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

This year's Mass begins at 12:10 p.m. on Friday, October 6.
