Heritage
 
Assumption has been blessed with the leadership of seven pastors, each bringing unique gifts to his ministry - seven priests who served with faithfulness and dedication, and by whom the parish has been enriched.  These pages cannot adequately capture their accomplishments
nor can their legacies be written in words. The parish community of Assumption has risen from the commitment, devotion, and sacrifice of those who came before, and from the vision, wisdom, and guidance of its pastors.


Parochial Vicars
 

Assumption has been blessed through the years with the energy and enthusiasm, faith and commitment of many priests serving the parish as assistants or parochial vicars.  Our prayers and thanksgiving to these men who have contributed to the spirit of this faith community.  May those who are deceased know God's peace. May those who are still in the service of God's people know that Assumption is forever in your debt and you are forever in your prayers.
