Saint Michael the Archangel Statue Dedication The statue of Saint Michael was dedicated and blessed this past Sunday at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church. We thank the generous contribution of the Camarota Family in loving memory of Michael Camarota. Saint Michael the Archangel, whose name means, “Who is like God?”, is one of the principle angels and captain of the armies of God. The Catholic Church venerates Saint Michael as a special patron and protector against the Devil. St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle!

There will be a set of meetings to discuss the ABVM Parish financial situation in the beginning of June. The first set of brief meetings will be held at the end of each Mass the weekend of June 1 & 2 to introduce the topic. There will be a follow-up meeting for all parishioners on Wednesday, June 5, 2019 at 7 PM in the Parish Life Center for detailed discussion. Click on the title for more information.
