John, Was 9/22 a Feast Day for The Blessed Virgin Mary? David S

-- David S (asdzxc8176@aol.com), September 24, 2001.

Hello, David.
September 22, 2001 was not a specific feast of Our Lady.
However, it was a Saturday within Ordinary Time. It is a widespread custom (though not required) for priests to celebrate, on "Ordinary Saturdays," an "optional memorial" Mass in honor of Our Lady.
Some priests will celebrate the ordinary Mass of the day (wearing green), while others will celebrate a Marian Mass (wearing white).
God bless you.
