Assumption Shuttle

          Through the incredible generosity of a parishioner, Assumption has a shuttle available for our parish organizations and for seniors with mobility issues living within our parish boundaries. Seniors with mobility issues may schedule a ride to Holy Mass, parish activities and, if the shuttle is available, it may assist them with other needs.

Assumption Shuttle is used for these purposes:

• Excursions for parish organizations.

• Transportation to and from Holy Mass, senior ministry events, and other parish events.

• In the future we hope to add these services:

  • Assistance for seniors living within Assumption’s territorial boundaries to destinations within a 10-mile radius from Assumption.  If the shuttle and drivers are available, seniors can request transportation to and from doctor’s visits or trips to the grocery store.

The following groups will have priority when scheduling:

1. Special events for parish organizations.

2. Transporting seniors and disabled to Sunday Masses

3. Senior Ministry regularly scheduled events

In the future:

4. Transporting seniors and disabled to doctor’s visits

5. Transporting seniors and disabled to grocery store

All transportation is dependent on the availability of our volunteer drivers.

The Assumption Shuttle will assist any senior living in our parish boundaries,
but in cases of high demand, parishioners will be given priority.

General rules:

- Parish organizations should pay any fuel they use (return shuttle with filled tank.)
