Everyone is invited to join us for this favorite Assumption-Mattese Parish tradition of 
Thanksgiving Mass at 9 a.m. followed by Brunch! We welcome you to bring along your
out-of-town guests or to reach out to someone whom you know will be spending
Thanksgiving alone and offer to bring them with you!

The Brunch will be in the Church Lower Level after Mass and will be 50% catered and 50% potluck. The caterers will be providing breakfast casseroles, baked ham, biscuits and gravy, turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, and pasta salad.

If you would like to contribute to our potluck, just drop a plate or dessert off downstairs before Mass. Some suggestions of things to bring are hot or cold vegetables, green bean casseroles, cranberries relishes, fruit or lettuce salads, coffee cake, pies, cakes, brownies, or cookies.
Or, just bring your favorite dish!
