We at Assumption BVM Parish look forward to welcoming you back! Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus as we make our way back to the in person celebration of the Mass. While our county remains in the Yellow Phase of statewide reopening, all of us need to do our part to make sure that our return to Mass is a peaceful and safe experience for all. Please make time to read the instructions below and follow these guidelines when attending Mass during this period:

With deep regret we report the passing of Monsignor John Graf, our Pastor Emeritus. Monsignor passed to his just reward suddenly Sunday morning, May 24. God bless the soul of Monsignor Graf.

As per Archbishop Pérez daily + Sunday Masses will be celebrated publicly beginning June 6, one day after our region has entered into Governor's "yellow phase" of opening. The Liturgy Committee has already planned how we will follow directives of Archdiocese in our church for this restricted period and it will be publicized soon. Let us use the two weeks of a new kind of Advent for prayer and intercession.

Parishioners, please contract us if you or a neighbor is in need of assistance during this Extraordinary time in our lives. Perhaps a member of the Knights of Columbus or the Women's Auxiliary can help in some way. Send me a note and I will see what can be done to "Lend a Hand". JJBrennan@AssumptionBVMWestGrove.org
