Our next preparation session for parents (and, if possible, godparents) of infants to be baptized is Monday, May 12, at the Rectory. Sessions are from 7:00 to 8:15pm.  These sessions are for first time parents and for parents who have never before attended a preparation session. Call the Parish Office to register. It is not necessary to wait for the baby to be born to attend a preparation session. Baptisms normally take place on the second and fourth Sundays of the month at 1:15pm and on the first weekend of the month during Mass. More here

Assumption Young Adults will have a pizza party in the Parish Hall  following the 5:00pm Mass on Sunday May 18 for a Pizza Party. For more information about the various AYA activities, email assumptionaya@gmail.com.  AYA is for anyone in their twenties or thirties, single, coupled, or married.

If we have 300 people willing to make a sustaining donation of $10 a month, then we will be able to adequately fund not only Assumption Shares, but also the Saturday sandwiches we make for Chicago Help Initiative and the monthly grocery bill for the migrant family of eight that Assumption helps support. $10 a month is a very small amount that will go a long way if we have the participation we need. And your monthly gift is easy to set up electronically. Just click HERE. The first option in the dropdown menu will be Assumption Shares.

There will be exposition of the Blessed Sacrament with Benediction on the third Monday of the Month from 5:00 to 7:00pm. Our next period of adoration is Monday May 19. There is free validated parking at MartPark, Orleans and Hubbard.
