St. Mary's Assumption

We the Parishioners of St. Mary's of Assumption Parish, Bronson, acknowledge the mission of Christ on earth and know that our aim is to have God working through us.  As a Christian community, we respond to the call of Jesus Christ to love each other as Jesus loves us and to celebrate the Eucharist, so as to be strengthened to accept the responsibility to serve rather than be served.  Together we are committed to the spiritual, physical and educational welfare of those of our parish family and beyond.

Dear Parishioners,

After today, the feast of the Baptism of the Lord, the Christmas season is officially over on our Church calendar. Of course, if you looked at the stores, the Christmas season was over weeks ago! Yet the Church celebrates such a long season because of the importance and significance of our Lord’s birth. As we prepare to begin Ordinary time, let us not forget to keep in our hearts the joy and peace of Christmas!

It’s not too late! You may have noticed that I will be leading a pilgrimage this coming September to the Northern Shrines in upper New York State and in Canada (Montreal and Quebec City). Just a little over a week ago, we had an informational meeting for those who were interested and there is still space left on the bus. I have informational and signup sheets available at the rectory office or you may call the tour company that I have used several times (Pinnacle Travel-speak with Chris) to answer any questions. It’s been over 20 years since I visited a few of these shrines and I look forward to visiting them once again and having Mass at several of these churches and welcome those who want to join me on this pilgrimage. 
 
 Thanks for Reading!

Fr. Mark
