Virgin Mary ABVM Feasterville

PRAISE GOD!

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

Notices

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!

Society of St Vincent dePaul - ABVM Conference

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. Beginning in November, 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.

Food Pantry

Our Parish Food Pantry requests your help as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday. While all donations are appreciated, we are currently most in need of canned vegetables (corn, green beans, peas) and fruit, turkey stuffing mixes and gravy, instant mashed potato mixes, and boxed brownie or cake mixes. In past years, we have been able to provide much needed support to many local families in need, and with your help, we can do so again this year. God bless you and thanks in advance.

PLEASE NOTE: We are also in need of a freezer to store turkeys and hams. The one we had after many years of good use has broken. If you have a working freezer 6 yrs old or newer that you have no use for and would like to donate to our food pantry, please contact Nancy at the rectory 215-357-1221 X20.
