As you take the time to explore our website, you can draw a conclusion that we are a very active parish. Assumption BVM is a tight-knit family of faith, dedicated to our Blessed Mother, Mary. We are disciples of Jesus, who worship God and love our neighbor. As you get a “glimpse” of our many activities, I encourage and invite you to experience our family, and enhance our family by sharing your talents and gifts.

Sun of Hope Orphanage Village Lenten Campaign
The orphanage, founded by the Holy Spirit Sisters, is located in Tanzania and currently houses over sixty children. The goal is to successfully prepare these children for secondary school, which is a long shot for most Tanzanian children. This is the tenth consecutive year that our parish is holding the Lenten Campaign and the orphanage has come to heavily rely on our assistance for the day-to-day operations of the facility.. We take great pride in the fact that 100% of all donations go directly to Sun of Hope.
How can you help? The orphanage project was extremely successful the past nine years and the Sisters are very appreciative. We would like to continue to assist the Holy Spirit Sisters in their endeavor. Please send your donations to: Sr. Catherine Msuya/Sun of Hope 1257 Lenox Road Jenkintown, PA 19046
