To SIGN-UP for this week's VP MASS, click HERE & complete the online form!

These Masses will occur EVERY Tuesday
(weather-permitting) in September & October.

6:30 p.m. - Mass 

 To provide an option for the vulnerable population at Assumption,
we are planning a special outdoor celebration of Mass on Tuesdays this fall.

*A heat advisory or forecast of rain will cancel Mass.

Bring your own LAWN CHAIRS & MASKS!

You can also call the Parish Office (314-487-7970) to reserve a spot.

Space is limited to 50 people at this time, so parishioners who are able to
attend our regular Masses are asked not to attend.
Similarly, since space is limited, we ask that only parishioners sign-up.
Caregivers are welcome, as well. 
The link to the Online Sign-Up form will be posted weekly (above, in that red box!)
for each upcoming Mass, so check back weekly to sign-up!

Some space will be available for individuals to remain in their vehicles for the Mass,
however, in order to receive Holy Communion,everyone will be required to briefly exit their vehicles.
 Of course, receiving Holy Communionat any Mass is not required and should only be for those spiritually and physically prepared to receive. A Spiritual Communion is always an option.

An"Act of Spritual Communion":

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION OF PADRE PIO

My Jesus, I believe that you are truly present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
 I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I am not able
at this moment to receive You sacramentally, I ask that you spiritually enter into my heart.
I embrace You and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
 Amen.
