RIP-Lenore Richards

Let's Honor and Pray for Grandparents

The Church celebrates the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly each year on the Sunday closest to the feast of Ss. Joachim and Anne, Jesus' grandparents. This year, it is celebrated on July 28, 2024. Pope Francis has chosen a line from Psalm 71, "Do not cast me off in my old age," as the theme. Here is a prayer for us to remember our grandparents, both living and deceased, and the elderly. https://bit.ly/4fjCr0b

Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

A holy day of obligation. Masses will be celebrated at the following times:

August 14: 6:30pm at Assumption

August 15: 8:00am at Assumption

12:10pm at St. Boniface



Since this is the patronal feast of Assumption Parish, after the 6:30pm Mass, we will gather in the hall for wine, soft drinks, appetizers and dessert. If you are able to bring one of these items, please sign-up in the rear of the parish hall or email the office at info@oratorychurch.org

Baptisms at the Oratory Parishes

Are you welcoming a new addition to your family or are interested in having your child baptized at Assumption or St. Boniface? You can find details on our website about how to proceed: https://oratorychurch.org/baptisms. We welcome families with children and look forward to celebrating your child’s baptism!
