A message from our Pastor:

Assumption Church, located in the heart of Peekskill, has been serving God's people since 1859. As a Catholic community united by faith in Jesus Christ, We are called to proclaim the kingdom of God. Nourished by the Holy Eucharist and the Gospel, our parish strives to reflect Christ’s light to the world through worship, education and service.

Current Events:

MARCH FOR LIFE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. - January 22, 2010

Once again, Assumption Church will be teaming up with Saint Columbanus Parish to sponsor a bus on the trip to Washington D.C. for the March for Life, which is a peaceful demonstration on behalf of life that takes place every year on or around the anniversary of the Supreme Court Decision Roe v. Wade. The bus will leave Assumption Church at 5:30am and return to the Assumption at 9:30pm. The Day will begin with a celebration of Mass at 5am in the Church. Space is limited, the cost is $25. If you are interested in joining us, please call the Rectory at 914-737-2071.

DAY OF PRAYER AND PENANCE

Please note that this Friday, January 22, 2010 is a day of Prayer and penance for sins committed against the dignity of Life. Catholics are enjoined to observe this day as a day of offering sacrifices and prayers to God and the conversion of hearts especially toward being Pro Life.
