On the 8th Day of the Octave of Christmas and at the beginning of the new civil year, the Church celebrates Mary as the Mother of God. One of the oldest titles for Our Lady, the Greek title Θεοτόκος (Theotokos), meaning "Bearer of God" was adopted by the First Council of Ephesus (431) as an assertion of the divinity of Christ.
This will be the only Mass celebrated on January 1 and there are no scheduled confessions this day.

This year the Assumption falls during one of Creighton University’s move-in days.
Due to move-in days there will be parking restrictions on campus, including a temporary closure of the accessible parking lot for St. John’s. There will also be lane closures on 24th Street to accommodate the move-in process.
Understanding that access to campus will be difficult on that day, we invite those not on campus to consider joining our Historic 24th Street Family of Parishes for 8:00am Mass at St. Benedict the Moor Church (2423 Grant Street) in celebration of this solemnity.

St. John’s announces its annual Novena of Grace in Honor of St. Francis Xavier, SJ. All are invited to join the Novena as we pray and are inspired by the call of Pope Francis to be “Pilgrims of Hope”. 2025 is the Jubilee Holy Year, the 2,025th anniversary of the Incarnation of our Lord, an "event of great spiritual, ecclesial, and social significance in the life of the Church." The concept of "Jubilee" has its origins in the Book of Leviticus (chapter 25) as a special year of reconciliation, pilgrimage, and coming home. Pope Francis has designated the 2025 Holy Year as a time to renew ourselves as "Pilgrims of Hope."
Novena prayer and blessing with the relic of St. Francis Xavier, SJ, at all Masses, March 4-12.

If any participant’s first language is other than English they are welcome to bring their copy of the Scriptures in the language that is their first language.
The group meets in the conference room in Lower St. John’s.
Note that absence from one or more sessions is not a problem if one wants to attend most of them. For more information contact Dr. Eileen Burke-Sullivan e_burkesullivan@creighton.edu
