Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish was established in 1950 with Reverend Timothy Crean as the first pastor. The first unit of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary School was completed in 1952 with the establishment of grades 1-4 and an enrollment of 168 students. By 1955, there were grades 1-8 with a total of 441 students. Facilities would be enhanced with the creation of a permanent church, cafetorium, convent, and rectory. In the early 60’s the school reached its highest enrollment with 600 students. A full-day kindergarten was added in 1990. 

Assumption BVM School was blessed with the presence of the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus for twenty-four years. When they withdrew in 1976, principals were drawn from the existing faculty to carry on the mission and legacy of the Sisters. 

Reverend Monsignor August Moretti, came to Assumption Parish in 1984, valuing it as an integral part of the parish community. Mgsr. Moretti served as pastor for 20 years. On February 2, 1999, Monsignor Crean, pastor emeritus died in Ireland. Father Gerard O’Brien came to ABVM as pastoral administrator in July 2004 and two years later was appointed pastor in 2006. 

Father Michael Ume joined ABVM in August 2018. We keep ourselves under the protection of Our Lady of the Assumption, so beautifully portrayed in the mosaic by Isabel Pizcek on our school wall.
