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. |
FIRST FRIDAY AND STATIONS OF THE CROSS
First Fridays of every month are special times to visit our Lord, who is truly present in the Eucharist and is reposed in the Church. Friday, March 5th, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Eucharist, will be on the altar for your adoration and prayers beginning at 12:15pm. However, please note the following scheduling variation:
- At 6:45 PM we will have the Sacred Heart of Jesus
- At 7:00 PM we will have the Sations of the Cross
- 7:30 PM we will resume Exposition until Midnight during the extended Confesson time (see below). Please come and spend some time adoring the Lord Jesus with us.
TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS
Pope Benedict XVI has signed a universal indult — or permission — for priests to celebrate again the Mass used throughout the Church for nearly 1,500 years. So, for Laetare Sunday, March 14th, 2010 at 3:00pm, we will have a special Traditional Latin Mass. Laetare Sunday is the popular name for the Fourth Sunday in Lent. Laetare means "Rejoice" in Latin. Because the midpoint of Lent is the Thursday of the third week of Lent, Laetare Sunday has traditionally been viewed as a day of celebration, on which the austerity of Lent is briefly lessened. The passage from Isaiah says, "rejoice with joy, you that have been in sorrow," and on Laetare Sunday, the purple vestments and altar cloths of Lent are set aside, and rose ones are used instead. Flowers, which are normally forbidden during Lent, may be placed on the altar. For more information and to view the flyer click here.
