Welcome
We welcome to Saint Mary of the Assumption those who are new to the Lancaster area and would like to join our parish church; those who are looking to return to an active practice of the Catholic faith and participation in the sacramental life; or those adults or families interested in becoming Catholic through our parish R.C.I.A. Process.
Holy Mass and Sacraments
Join us in the celebration of the sacred liturgy at Mass or in the Sacraments, through which we worship God and are touched by the Lord in His Paschal Mystery to grow fully alive in our human nature, to be nourished and built up together as the Body of Christ, and to be sent out into the world to continue that worship in our lives to His glory.
Our Parish and History
Catholicism in Lancaster goes back to the early settlers in 1800. The people of our parish are grateful for the gift of the catholic faith given us by the Apostles and our local ancestors, we continue to live so that our actions may inspire to holiness of life the generations to follow, and continue our progress onward and upward through the years to come.
Special Upcoming Events and Calendars
The Stations of the Cross
Our parish will offer the Stations of the Cross devotion this Lent on Friday evenings at 7 pm. Due to the church beautification, the devotion will be prayed in the spirit center – the lower level of the older school building (entrance in the rear). Please pick-up a red devotional prayer book for the Stations when you enter the spirit center. On Friday, 5 April, the school children will offer the Living Stations of the Cross in the school gymnasium at 1.30 pm and again that evening at 7 pm. Please join us!
