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.

Religious Retirement Fund Collection
A special collection for the Religious Retirement Fund will be held on December 12, 2021. Across the United States, hundreds of religious com-munities lack financial resources sufficient to meet the retirement and healthcare needs of aging members. Elderly Catholic sisters, broth-ers, and religious order priests have offered their lives in service to others—educating the young, comforting the sick, and ministering to the less fortunate. Today, many are frail and need assistance. Your gift to the Religious Re-tirement Fund helps to provide funds for medi-cations, nursing care, and more. Show your thanks for the prayerful service of elderly Cath-olic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests by giving generously to this special collection.
