We hear in the Letter to the Hebrews that Christ is made one with us in his suffering—“He ‘for a little while’ was made ‘lower than the angels,’ that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.” “He who consecrates and those who are being consecrated all have one origin. Therefore, he is not ashamed to call them ‘brothers [and sisters].’ ” We are all made in the image of God, and therefore are one in Christ. We sometimes forget that Christ is our brother as well as our Lord. The love he has for us is faithful and never ending. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife.” For “God made them male and female,” equal in love and respect for one another.
MISSION STATEMENT St. Mary of the Assumption Parish is a Welcoming Faith Community
Dedicated to Building God’s Kingdom by Worship and Through Education, Love, and Service to All.

On Mission For The Church Alive!
He Is Not Ashamed To Call Them Brothers – This Sunday’s second reading from the Letter to the Hebrews, in reminding us how God humbled himself by choosing to become one like us in Jesus Christ, also highlights for us that Christ chooses to call us his sisters and brothers. Through his creating us in his image and likeness and consecrating us with his Spirit in baptism, God the Father adopts us as his beloved children and unites us with each other through his Son, Jesus. If Christ Jesus considers us his sisters and brothers and is willing to sacrifice for us, then we, who strive to love with the heart of Jesus, should do the same. As the new parish groupings take effect and the interim Mass schedules begin as part of the On Mission for The Church Alive! initiative on October 15th, we will likely encounter new sisters and brothers in Christ. May the love of God at work in us be extended to them in our words and deeds, and may we receive the love of God from them as we seek each day to build up his kingdom. Visit onmissionchurchalive.org to learn more and to stay informed.
Schedule Changes Of Mass Intentions
Mass intentions that are scheduled after October 15th will be celebrated according to the new interim mass schedule. Masses that were requested on the days that masses are held at St. Mary will be celebrated at the new adjusted times. That would be, Saturdays at 4:00PM, Sundays at 9:30AM, Mondays and Thursdays at 8:00AM. If masses were requested on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday morning, they will be celebrated by Fr. Gary and Fr. Albert in the friary’s chapel. However, keep in mind that the dates will not be the same as requested when originally scheduled.
