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
We are in need of a Special Education teacher to prepare an 11yr old student to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. If anyone with this experience is willing and able to help this child, we would be so grateful. Please contact the Prep Office at 215-357-3445 or send us an email at abvmreo18@gmail.com

The group will meet in the Rectory Meeting Room on Tuesday afternoons from 1 pm to 3 pm on September 16th, 23rd, October 7th, 14th, 21st. and 28th, Nov 4th and Nov 11th. $10 book charge applies.
