Healing Mass and Candlemas Procession and Blessing of Candles

Church of the Assumption
The faithful are encouraged to bring a candle from home to be blessed. Simple candle blessings will take place at the 7:300 AM Mass at Assumption and the 8:30 AM Mass at Resurrection. At the 6:30 PM Mass we will have a procession with a solemn blessing.
Live Streaming Schedule Update
As life has become more normal in our post-pandemic world, we have been looking at our live streaming schedule. Last year, Bishop Matano reminded us at the parish level, that Mass is a communal event, and that while during the pandemic shut-down, live streaming was a wonderful way to keep us united, a live streamed Mass is not a substitution for actual Mass attendance.
It has been the practice to live stream all weekday and weekend Masses from both parishes. That is possible because Liz, our Communications Coordinator, makes sure that Masses gets scheduled, have the proper titles, and she can troubleshoot from off-site, if necessary.
Starting February 6, 2023, we will no longer be livestreaming daily Masses from either parish. While having the daily Masses livestreamed was convenient for a few, the work involved to keep the schedule straight is time-consuming. With Liz, our Communications Coordinator, going out for surgery we decided that this would be the best time to stop the practice.
Weekend Masses, special Masses such as Healing Masses & First Saturday, and funerals will continue to be live streamed.
We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
