My church is doing the same thing. Is it because Sunday is the second Sunday of Advent?
James says
Exactly. The celebration of Sundays in Advent and their readings (and hopefully, the preaching) are a sort of Catechesis to prepare us for the celebration of the Lord’s Nativity. The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception detracts from none of that, but the Liturgy asks us to keep even Mary’s role in the context of the Lord’s coming.
