Adult Ministries: The Adult Ministries serve adults of St. Mary of the Assumption Parish through the coordination and offering of educational programs such as small group gatherings, outreach initiatives, and social events. Throughout the course of a given year, the topics, ministries, activities, and subject matter differ so as to present experiences which can meet varied interests and schedules.


Cares Ministries: Is a service for parents and children so parents don't have to take vacation days from work when their child is off from school. It is a safe, fun environment where children enjoy sports, games, arts/crafts, and the local playgrounds. Program runs from 7am to 6 pm for an affordable rate.

Children's Ministries: The youngest members of the parish community benefit from all that these ministries have to offer. Through fun activities and a warm, loving environment, the children are exposed to their faith at a young age. Examples of these activities are the Children's Liturgy of the Word, Summer Camp, Holiday Cares, and Vacation Bible School.
