Let’s go paperless!
Faith Direct enables parishioners to make church contributions through either a direct debit from your checking/savings account, or through your credit/debit card. It is very simple to do. Through the Assumption website and Constant Contact you can access the Faith Direct secure website. Pope Francis’ Prayer Intention for this month is “Respect for the Planet’s Resources.” Let’s follow his direction and go paperless!
Many of you are aware and take advantage of the convenience of electronic giving to our parish, and we are most grateful for your choosing this option. However, it is NOT paperless. Your bank mails us a check instead of you. So please reconsider and switch to Faith Direct. Let’s implement a positive action during this pandemic and save some trees in accordance with the Pope’s prayer.
Also, if you no longer need your monthly envelopes mailed to you, please notify the rectory office so we can reduce unnecessary related costs.
Thank you!

The Coronavirus Relief Law expands the charitable giving deduction to taxpayers who do not itemize. This above-the-line deduction is capped at $300 per person/$600 per couple for donations to qualified charitable organizations such as Assumption Parish.
The law also lifts the cap on annual contributions for those who itemize, from 60% of adjusted gross income to 100%. These giving incentives apply to 2020 contributions and would be claimed in 2021 when completing your 2020 tax forms.
We need your support…
You have been shown that you are truly a giving and caring community with your continuing support of your parish during this time of crisis. Thank you!
Although the church and office remain closed, our employees continue working remotely to keep our daily operations moving forward. Unfortunately, all the rest of the parish expenses also continue, and those must be paid from our regular collections which have decreased significantly since our church doors closed for our regular Masses. However, our faith sharing continues and we now have livestream Masses and new ways of communicating and gathering.
Please continue your generosity to the parish either online through Faith Direct, online banking, through the regular mail, or dropping off your envelopes through the rectory mail slot. We greatly appreciate it.

My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
