  Dear Parishioners,

  Today’s Gospel reminds us that Advent is about more than our preparation for the Church’s celebration of Christ’s birth at Christmas. Advent is also about preparing ourselves for Christ’s return in glory at the end of time.

  The season of Advent calls us to take this time to deepen our faith and be vigilant in our spiritual lives. The Church also reminds us during Advent, that Jesus still keeps on coming and he shall come again. He comes in His word, the sacraments, the needy and the vulnerable of our society. He shall come at the hour of our death, and He shall come in Glory at the end of time.

  Like the disciples and the faithful in Mark’s community, we must also be watchful and be alert in our daily lives. Our faithfulness to God, through the good times as well as the difficult times, shows us to be ready for the coming of the Son of Man.

  Pray for Peace!
  God Bless you,
  Fr. Cyrus

OUR MISSION
The Church of the Assumption Parish is a Roman Catholic Christian Community in Westport Connecticut, called by Jesus Christ to know, love and serve Him.  Our mission is to strive to live a full sacramental life centered on the Eucharist, committed to living and spreading the Gospel of Jesus through faithful worship, witness, education and generous stewardship.

OUR VISION
We at the Roman Catholic Church of the Assumption commit ourselves to be a guiding light of the Catholic faith recognized as a large, welcoming, generous and effective faith community.

Inspired by the holiness of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, sustained by the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the graces given in the celebration of the sacraments, we will use our gifts of time, talent and treasure to provide the services and ministries necessary to promote the Catholic faith through our commitment to educate the young, meet the spiritual and material needs of all God’s children, and to glorify the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit by our Christian example with the intercession of our patroness, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
