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
The St. Vincent de Paul members are very grateful for all the items donated for the monthly dinners. These are greatly appreciated by the less fortunate people who arrive for a hot meal and get to take needed items as well. Since the warmer, sunnier months are upon us, maybe you could find it within your means to donate sunscreen and sunhats/caps to keep them safe from sunburn. There will be a box outside the bathrooms in the church to drop them off.
You are invited to share your cultural heritage with your ABVM family at our annual PENTECOST CELEBRATION on Sunday, May 24, 2026. Festivities will begin at the 11:00am Mass. If you can translate a Universal Prayer petition into your native language and then read it at Mass, please let us know. After the Mass, we will assemble in the hall for our CULTURAL HERITAGE celebration, to share and enjoy each other’s ethnic foods, music, clothing, etc. We are hoping this year’s festival will be the best ever! Plan to be there and help make it so! For more information, or to sponsor a food table, or suggest entertainment ideas for this event, please contact Deacon Eric at 215-357-1221, x. 24 or email deaconeric.abvm@gmail.com.
Please help mothers and their babies during our Change for Life Baby Bottle Project. Please pick up a bottle on tables in the back of Church. Your donation will make a positive impact on mothers. The donation will support the Saint Margaret of Castello Maternity Home in Bensalem, PA; and the new ultra-sound machine for A Babys Breath in Warminster, PA. Please fill the bottles with your loose change, bills, or checks payable to Regina Mundi 4052 and return the bottle to the back of Church on or before May 31st.
The book club holds regular meetings on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month. Meetings are held from 1:00-2:30 pm in the Rectory meeting room. All are welcome! We are currently discussing Joan Chittister's book The Gift of Years, published by BlueBridge. Come join us.
One of our parish organizations, Helping Hands, is in dire need of volunteers. Helping Hands is a group of parishioners who give other parishioners in need a little 'helping hand' with small tasks that they cannot otherwise do themselves. Without more volunteers, this organization will disband within the next few months. To inquire about volunteering with Helping Hands, please contact Ingrid Trommer by phone at 267-446-7946, or by email: ingridsparetime2@aol.com.
Our April Community Meal was a success, thanks to the generosity of so many people. Not only did our guests receive a delicious, filling dinner (provided and served by volunteers), but they also had access to clothing, toiletries, and supplies collected by our St. Vincent de Paul Society members. In addition, our volunteers used leftovers to fill Caring for Friends trays and to feed those at the Reach Out Foundation day center. Our next meal will be on May 28th. For more information about this ministry at ABVM, contact Rose Jacobs, RosemarieJacobs64@gmail.com, 215-219-9047. Information about meals at other congregations and Advocates for the Homeless and Those in Need can be found at www.ahtn.org.
