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
ABVM Evangelization team is organizing the Fall door-to-door mission to go out on October 11th. Please consider joining us - it is always a fun time! There will be an 8:30 am Mass at ABVM and then 9:15 am leave from rectory basement. We will be knocking on doors and dropping packets of information to our parishioners to let them know they are in our intentions, and we hope to see them at church. If we come to your house, we hope to meet you! Contact NHoyt111@gmail.com if you have any questions or want to volunteer.
Well, here it is October already and time for our monthly BINGO night. Come join us Friday evening 10/10, doors open 6 pm and 1st number is called at 7 pm in the church hall. We still only charge $10.00 which gives you 3 double bingo cards and 3 specials, the other specials are $1.00 each. The kitchen will be open for their famous hot dogs and kraut along with drinks. You can also bring your own refreshments and food. All are welcome but you must be over 18 years old. Feel free to come in your favorite Halloween outfit if you like.
The feast of St Vincent DePaul was September 27th. Our conference here at ABVM is actively working to meet the needs of people who are struggling to pay utility bills or rent, and those experiencing food insecurity through the Parish food pantry. Keep an eye out for SVDP members selling coupons for Boscov which gives a 25% discount on October 22, 2025 (one day only); just in time for some holiday shopping. The coupons cost $5 and that money allows us to help some families who are experiencing hard times.
Our speaker at this year's Forty Hours devotion is Steve Javie, a former NBA referee who, after a 25-year career officiating at over 1,400 NBA games, decided to follow a spiritual calling and entered the Permanent Diaconate formation program at Saint Charles Seminary. He was ordained a deacon for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia on June 8, 2019, at the Cathedral Basilica of SS Peter and Paul. He currently serves as a deacon at Saint Andrew Parish in Newtown, PA. He also works as a basketball analyst for ESPN. Please join us for Evening Prayer on three evenings, Sunday, October 12th through Tuesday, October 14th, at 7:00 PM. Tuesday evening will conclude with a candlelight procession and hospitality in the hall. All parish organizations are invited to attend and a pew for each organization will be reserved.
Also, we are looking for donations of appetizers and desserts for hospitality on Tuesday evening. Please call Debbie Bean at 267-619-4573 if you can donate.
Please mark your calendars for Sunday, November 9, 2025. Mass and Celebration: We invite you to join us for our 11:00 am Closing Mass celebrated by Bishop Joseph L.

Our newly formed support group will be peer ministry, not therapy. During our sessions, we will examine the grieving process, and how to cope with the Loss. There will be a discussion about the Stages of Grief and how to handle the holidays. We will analyze the difference between grieving and mourning. 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.
