This Friday, Assumption Catholic School welcomed the Class of 2020 and their parents to the Annual Blessing of Class Rings Ceremony. Ring Ceremony is one of the most memorable events for 8th grade students. The class rings were blessed after the Liturgy by Fr. Ivan Turyk and presented to the Class of 2020 by the school’s principal, Mrs. Lissette Shumny. During his homily, Fr. Ivan spoke about the symbolism of the rings and the Principal expressed how proud she and the eighth grade teacher Mrs. Pickering were of their soon-to-be graduates. After posing for a group picture, students and their families enjoyed a small breakfast celebration in the church hall.

On Thursday, December 12, 2019, ACS children were united with all Catholic school students in the Diocese of Metuchen. At exactly 12:30, a pre-recorded Consecration Prayer Service for Children was played in each school throughout the Diocese, thereby consecrating the Diocese of Metuchen community to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Students were provided with copies of the prayer service and songs to enable full participation. Father Ivan prefaced the prayer service with a brief talk and ACS students then presented roses to Our Lady of Guadalupe. This symbolizes the roses she gave to Juan Diego 488 years ago in Mexico as proof she appeared to him. It was a moving afternoon and we were grateful to be one Catholic school community.

The festive season has officially started here at Assumption Catholic School in Perth Amboy, NJ with our annual Christmas Bazaar taking place this Sunday, November 17. The Bazaar is one of the highlights of our school calendar and the success of this fundraising event boils down to the commitment of our FSA (Family School Association). A special thank you goes to Mrs. Allyson Fizer, President of FSA and her Board who worked tirelessly in the build up to the day and at the event. They planned and executed a great event for the school. By all measures, it was a huge success! The turnout was great and the atmosphere fantastic. The beautiful auction prizes, children’s games, face painting, vendors, crafts, and delicious food all added to the festivities leaving attendees smiling and entertained. We thank the FSA members and all those who helped in any way – whether you baked, cooked, worked in the kitchen or sold ruffle tickets, solicited donations, it all helped to make our Christmas Bazaar successful! It was also a wonderful prelude to the Christmas season. A special thank you also goes out to the students, staff and faculty of ACS for participation at the Bazaar. Without you, we couldn’t be the great school that we are today. All proceeds are used to support the educational programs and mission of ACS – to Know, to Love and to Serve God.
