Special Invitation: Visit of Bishop Brennan

On Sunday, November 20, Bishop Robert Brennan will celebrate the 9:30am Mass at Assumption followed by a special coffee hour and his blessing of the newly-refurbished parish hall. All parishioners of both Assumption and St Boniface are invited to come to this Mass and blessing and to meet our new Bishop on his first visit to the Oratory Parishes.

Thanksgiving Food Drive: Last Call!

Please join the Oratory Parishes in sharing our bounty for Thanksgiving by bringing non-perishable food items to either church on Sunday, November 20th. We welcome all contributions and thank you for the blessing of your participation! To make a financial contribution, you can go to the parish PushPay link and choose "Food Drive" when prompted to Choose Fund.

Mashed Potatoes for Thanksgiving Day Meals

You are invited to pick-up empty to-go-containers which will be available in the rear of either church. Then on Wed, Nov 23 at the 6pm Mass (or earlier in the day) bring to Assumption Church these containers filled with your favorite mashed potatoes (white mashed potatoes, not sweet potatoes). Early on Thanksgiving morning, the food will be delivered to Harlem.
