St. Mary of the Assumption (St Mary’s on the Hill) 175 Year Celebration

In 2025, St. Mary of the Assumption Church celebrates a monumental milestone—its 175th anniversary of serving the community. This rich history dates back to its founding in 1850, and over the years, the church has remained a pillar of faith, tradition, and community engagement. It has been a place where generations of families have gathered for worship, sacraments, and important life events. The church’s enduring presence reflects not only its architectural beauty but also the deep spiritual foundation that has shaped countless lives in the surrounding area.

Throughout its history, St. Mary of the Assumption has witnessed significant changes in the world and society, yet its core mission has remained unchanged: to provide a space to celebrate the eucharist. As part of the 175th anniversary celebration, the church is hosting a variety of events, including special masses, a community gala, and historical tours to highlight its legacy. These festivities offer an opportunity for current parishioners to reflect on the church’s impact over the years and for new generations to learn about the rich heritage that has shaped their community.

As St. Mary of the Assumption Church celebrates this remarkable anniversary, it is a time to honor its past while looking forward to its future. The anniversary serves as a reminder of the dedication and faith of those who helped build and sustain the church. It also inspires a renewed commitment to the values of faith, charity, and community that the church has always championed. This milestone is not just a celebration of history but also a call to continue nurturing the spiritual life and connection that St. Mary of the Assumption has fostered for 175 years.
