  Dear Parish Family,

  Alleluia, Happy Easte!

  In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus compares himself to a vine and his followers to the branches on that vine. Branches get their nourishment from the vine. We the branches never want to be separated from the vine that is Jesus Christ. Christ has promised to remain beside us during life if only we stay close to him. Without him, nothing can be achieved.

  As Christians, it’s crucial to stay connected to Jesus. In the same way a tree depends on its branches for nourishment and growth, we depend on Jesus for our spiritual growth and to bear fruit. When we become disconnected from Him, we begin to wither away gradually. Therefore, let us remain steadfast in our faith and keep our connection with Jesus strong, so that we may continue to grow and bear the fruits of the Spirit.

  We are called to bear fruit as evidence of our discipleship and our connection to Jesus. The ultimate purpose of believers’ fruitfulness is to bring glory to God. Our lives, when lived in connection with Christ, reflect God’s great love.

  To “bear fruit” means that we reflect our connection to Jesus, by acts of love, kindness, patience, faithfulness and prayer, reading God’s Word, and obedience to His teachings. We are to live in such a way as to bring glory to God and positively impact those around us.

  God Bless,
  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.
