CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! to all of you who were involved in any way with this year’s program. It was a HUGE success with a recipient count of 372 families assisted, counting those who attended, those we made deliveries to and others who will benefit with the baskets that will be distributed this week. With the preparations started at the end of last year’s program to Saturday afternoon, the backing for this program has made a tremendous difference in the community and the attitude of many heading into the week of Christmas. The Giving Attitude of volunteers this week was overwhelming and was equally matched on Saturday. The entire week saw an outflowing of enthusiasm and generosity that was a joy to witness. We had great energy this year with many new ideas and had success with many new vendor contributions. I Want to really thank all the volunteers who worked out in the colder temps today, way to show the Christmas Spirit!!! Since I do not have every volunteers email address, please pass this on to anybody that was involved this year with my thanks (and mark their calendar for December 15 & 16, 2023 and our first planning meeting on September 6). If you have any ideas to make the program better in any way, please drop me a note with your thoughts!!! God Bless you and your family during this joyous Christmas Season!!

Dear Parishioner, I wanted to invite you to join us for Mass and other events at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish during the Advent and Christmas seasons and to inform you of our schedule. It is my prayer that your participation in our liturgies will reinforce the gift of peace and hope that come from the Word made flesh, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, born to us on that first Christmas night. May you and your loved ones have a holy Advent and a very Merry Christmas! Father Scott D. Brockson. Please click here for more details.
