Time for the Feast of the Assumption and Tribute to Elvis - Southern Catholicism
Mixed feelings on that video :)
A kind of fun quirk of American Catholicism that happens in Memphis each year on the date of our Lady's Assumption
August 15 is always a Holy Day of Obligation for Catholics in the United States. Here at St. Paul, the mass intention for our 3:00 PM Mass is for Elvis Presley. Visitors from around the world join St. Paul's parishioners in a very moving and spirit-filled liturgy. With music led by the St. Paul Choir, we gather together a great mix of languages, cultures, and religious backgrounds to remember, give thanks, and pray. This mass celebrates Our Lady and pays our respects to our former Whitehaven neighbor, Elvis.
Will the rolling Elvi be there?
