Commentary: Wayback Machine. Quoth the Holy Redeemer bulletin:
The Immaculate Conception, according to the teaching of the Catholic Church, was the conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the womb of her mother, Saint Anne (26 July), free from original sin by virtue of the foreseen merits of her son Jesus Christ.I agree 'tis queer that there is no discussion of the Immaculate Conception in Holy Family's bulletin this week, but on the other hand they are celebrating four Masses today, plus a vigil Mass last night, providing as many opportunities as possible for the faithful to meet today's holy day obligation. By contrast, Holy Redeemer is celebrating only one Mass today, plus a vigil Mass last night.
'Tis also the feast of Saint Eutychian, Pope (died 283), twenty-seventh Bishop of Rome: Saint-link & Wikipedia-link.
'Tis also the feast of Saint Noël Chabanel, Priest & Martyr, S.J. (1613-1649), who survived the massacres by the Iroquois only to be martyred by an apostate Huron: Martyr-link & Wikipedia-link.

HR had 2 vigil Masses, you just weren't invited to the one for the council of Catholic women. Also I think the set up for the concert resulted in the suggestion that if the vigil or morning Mass didn't work for someone there were more at HF.
