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.
Reverend Mike Davis
Ushers Ministry
Ushers are essential to creating a welcoming and peaceful environment during Mass. They greet parishioners, assist with seating, take up the collection, distribute bulletins, and help maintain order throughout the service. This ministry is a wonderful way to serve the Church, meet new people, and contribute to the spiritual life of our parish. If you are looking for a meaningful way to get involved, consider joining the usher team. Your presence can make a difference! If you are interested in joining, please call or text Michael Arment at (215) 470-2050 or contact the rectory.
Presentation of the Gifts at Mass
We invite families, couples, and individuals to participate in the Offertory by bringing up the gifts during Mass. If you are interested, please sign up in the vestibule or speak with an usher before Mass. This is a beautiful way to be involved in the liturgy!

THE SOCIETY OF ST VINCENT DE PAUL kindly requests your prayers as we strive to support local families and individuals who are experiencing challenging circumstances. SNAP (food stamp) benefits were suspended on November 1, 2025, until Congress resolves the issue. We expect more locals will need help with food costs. We depend on parishioner donations to meet our financial needs. If you are able, we kindly request that donations of cash or gift cards (Giant, Acme, Shop Rite, and Walmart) be placed in the designated collection boxes located at the center doors near the holy water. This is our primary source of funds, and we are very grateful. Thank you for your continued support.
In a cooperative effort with AHTN to feed the homeless in our area, the St Vincent dePaul conference at ABVM is requesting almost new, gently used winter coats, hats, scarves, gloves and new white socks. The majority of these folks are men, so that would be the most useful. We would like these to be available when the meals are served here at ABVM beginning January, 2026. Other items that would also be helpful include: hand warmers, ChapStick, hand sanitizer, packets of wet wipes, granola bars, and juice boxes. These items can be left in the vestibule, outside the bathrooms in boxes left out for the collection. If you have any questions, please call the rectory, 215 357-1221, ext. 21.
