Another end the school year adventure took place today!
On this beautiful, cool, sunny morning ACS students met at Warren Park for their annual picnic. They went on hikes, played basketball, had fun in the playgrounds, and just enjoyed being out in the sunshine. The FSA prepared the food that was enjoyed  by all. Many parents and alumni were so helpful and we are so appreciative of everyone’s time and help! Many students went on a hike with Ms. Roque,  where they met the challenge of making  it up “the hill.” The day could not be complete without saying thank you to Mr Lee, our benefactor, who made this day possible and of course the delicious ice cream truck!

Assumption Catholic School students in grades 3-8 had a fantastic opportunity to visit Hersheypark today! What began as a creative proposal from our enthusiastic Third grade class has become a reality, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!

A big shoutout to our amazing FSA for funding one of the charter buses, making the trip more affordable for everyone.

Our day was filled with thrilling rides, delicious food, and most importantly, unforgettable moments with great friends.

Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible – especially our teachers and chaperones. Here’s to making more wonderful memories together!

On Friday, May 3, 2024  Sodalists from Assumption Catholic School (ACS) in Perth Amboy, NJ participated in a special Liturgy and a consecration ceremony of 26 new members. Fr. Ivan Turyk delivered a homily about Mary’s journey to Elizabeth and gave a special blessing to each of the girls.
ACS Sodality is a sisterhood comprised of young ladies and women (grade 3 and beyond) who practice the ideals set forth by Our Blessed Virgin Mary. Sodality has been part of ACS’ history for over 50 years and our young ladies are committed to growing in personal holiness and serving their school community through their consecration to Jesus through Mary. The young women of this Sodality, under a spiritual guidance of our school sisters Sr. Veronica, Sr. Trijtsi and Sr. Svitanku were preparing for this day for the whole year. They attended meetings, learned songs and deepened their knowledge about the Blessed Mother of God.
Our Sisters, who belong to the order of Sisters Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará, also decorated a church, personally have sew all caps and prepare a very moving ceremony for our sodalists and their parents,  who were in  the attendance.
During the consecration ceremony, the candidates made their Marian pledge and received from Fr. Ivan and Sisters a medal and a blue blessed garment as an outward sign of their consecration with the Sodality.

This Thursday evening, hundreds of people attended a Prayer Service for Peace in Ukraine at the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Philadelphia that was  led by His Beatitude Sviatoslav and the bishops of the Permanent Synod. The American Ukrainian community in Perth Amboy, NJ has always been active, especially on appeals for peace and solidarity, support for the homeless, an emergency medical donation appeal and prayer for those suffering around the world. On this special day, many parishioners on their own and Assumption Catholic School students, teachers, parish sisters and administration traveled by bus to Philadelphia to pray for the end of war and to show support for people of Ukraine,  who are suffering after Russia’s invasion into Ukraine. For the past two-year, Assumption Catholic School have opened its doors to more than twenty Ukrainian refugee students as millions flee the war-torn country. The school is providing discounted tuition, language instruction and a sense of stability for the children.
