Thanks to our parishioners, Al Pombo and Mark Tanner, for retrieving the original 1873 church bell from our old church site. The placement of  the bell at the new property is yet to be determined.

Great news! We broke ground on our new church on Alder Dr. and Hwy 89. (Google Map) Thanks to all of our parishioners' sacrifices and the diligent work of the Building Committee here at Assumption Parish, we had a successful ground breaking ceremony and BBQ celebration with Bishop Emeritus William Weigand of Sacramento.
