Rally For Life 2021
The parish bus trip to Washington, DC for the March for Life event on January 29 has been cancelled.
In lieu of attending the Washington trip, Assumption parish will have its own March for Life.  On January 29, the Knights of Columbus will sponsor an 8:30 am at Church. After Mass, we will march around the parking lot (weather permitting) and stop at the prayer garden. The Holy Family statue will be displayed at the prayer garden and Father will give a blessing.
Those who cannot march, can remain in Church until the marchers return to Church. We will then say a rosary using Father Frank Pavone’s Priest for Life meditations. All are welcome.
God Bless.
