The 5:30 vigil Mass on Saturdays also hosts Children’s Worship during the school year to help the children understand the liturgy more fully.
Assumption began as a mission of St. Vincent Martyr in 1848 on Maple Avenue, the site of the current rectory. A resident pastor was named in 1860. The present church was dedicated in 1873 and substantially renovated after a fire in 1986-87. The parish school opened in 1850 and has been staffed by the Sisters of Charity since 1875.
