a Word from the pastor

Welcome to the Church of the Assumption!  

Welcome to our parish family! Whether you’re new to our community, returning after some time away, or have been with us for years, we are so glad you’re here.
At the Church of the Assumption, we are blessed to be under the loving patronage of  Mary, Our Lady of the Assumption. Her faith, trust, and total surrender to God’s will inspire us to grow deeper in our relationship with Christ and one another. Just as Mary was lifted body and soul into heaven, we are called to lift each other up in faith, love, and service.

Our parish is more than just a place of worship—it’s a home. Here, you’ll find a vibrant community where we celebrate the sacraments, support one another in prayer, and live out our faith through acts of service. Whether you’re looking for a place to belong, a moment of peace, or a way to share your gifts, you are always welcome here.

Take a look around our website to learn more about our Mass schedule, ministries, upcoming events, and ways to get involved. And if you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’d love to hear from you!

May Our Lady of the Assumption continue to watch over and guide us all.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
Jesus, King of Mercy, I trust in YOU!

To Jesus Through Mary
​
Father John

Dear Assumption Family and Friends,

As we journey through this sacred season of Lent and draw closer to Easter, my heart is filled with gratitude and hope. This is truly one of the most sacred and joyful times of the year for us as Catholics—our time to proclaim with full hearts: Christ is risen! 

Easter is not just another holiday on the calendar. It is the very foundation of our faith—the moment when darkness was conquered by light, when death was defeated by life, and when despair was transformed into hope. It is a season of renewal, a celebration of God’s boundless love, and a powerful reminder that nothing is beyond His redemption.

But before we arrive at the joy of Easter morning, we first walk the path of Lent. Through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, we prepare our hearts to receive the incredible gift of the Resurrection. Lent calls us to reflect, to turn back to God, and to embrace the grace of conversion. Here at Assumption Church, we have journeyed together through the Stations of the Cross, shared simple yet meaningful Soup Suppers, deepened our faith through Bible studies and Faith Formation, and spent quiet moments with the Lord in Eucharistic Adoration. Our Parish Lenten Retreat has offered a sacred space to pause, listen, and allow God’s grace to renew us.

Now, as Holy Week approaches, I invite you to enter deeply into the mystery of Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection. Each liturgy of Holy Week is an opportunity to walk alongside Jesus—to share in the sorrow of the cross and the joy of the empty tomb.

Perhaps you have walked through a difficult season. Maybe doubts, grief, or struggles have weighed you down. Let me encourage you: Easter is for you. The empty tomb is God’s declaration that nothing—no hardship, no sin, no sorrow—is beyond His power to transform. Because Christ lives, we can face tomorrow with confidence, knowing that His love never fails and His promises are true.

I invite you to join us for these powerful liturgies and to celebrate Easter as one parish family. Let us come together in worship, lift our voices in praise, and proclaim the truth that has changed the world: Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!

May this season renew your heart, lift your burdens, and strengthen your faith. I look forward to celebrating with you.

With Easter joy,
Fr. John Carillo
