Due to the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, the Mass scheduled for Friday December 13th will be moved to Monday December 9th, as will 8th Grade Confessions. The Monday and Friday schedule will be completely flipped that week, so 8th, 4th, and 3rd grades should wear their PE uniform on FRIDAY that week.

St. Mary of the Assumption School is celebrating 100 years of educational excellence. For the Centennial, we are sponsoring this Brick Fundraising Project to benefit the school. Proceeds from this project will give back to the school and to our families through teacher development, school infrastructure, and student scholarships.

Gala tickets are now on sale! The event has sold out the last two years, so please get your tickets as soon as possible.
