Welcome to Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish
We are a Catholic community of welcome and warmth sharing growth as we seek to develop as disciples of Jesus using the four pillars of Christian discipleship: Community, Message, Worship, and Service.
Community - Created for and called to spreading God's love and mercy throughout parish family and surrounding community through spiritual and social opportunities,
Message - Sharing the Good News of God's Love, mercy and redemption to all through Faith Adult, Faith Youth Ministry, Faith Children, and Sacramental Preparation,
Worship - Gathering to gratefully share prayer as we participate in the Liturgy of the Word and Liturgy of the Eucharist,
Christian Service - Using the gifts God has entrusted to us to serve God by helping those in need.

"I Don't Get Anything Out of Mass"
Do you ever...
Go to Mass and wonder what really happens when you’re there?
Leave Mass feeling less than completely satisfied, like something was lacking?
Feel like a failure because you never seem to "get anything" out of Mass?
Fr. Mike Schmitz offers some great insights into the importance of Mass and how we can truly “get more” out of our worship when we approach it from a new perspective—check out the video.
Retirement Fund for Religious
Elderly religious need your help
Nearly 25,000 senior sisters, brothers and religious order priests have dedicated their lives to serving others by praying for us, ministering to all, educating the young, caring for those who are sick and helping those in need—usually for little or no pay. Today, their religious communities do not have enough retirement savings. Your donation will make a real difference by providing essential care, medicine and other necessities. Please give generously.
