Did you know that Assumption is the oldest Catholic church in Morristown? That the first Mass was celebrated here on Christmas Day, 1848? That our parish was the "mother church" to All Souls Hospital (now Morristown Medical Center's Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute), Bayley-Ellard High School, and several parishes throughout Morris County?
We Built a Family Together: The History of the Parish of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary by parishioners Robert and Jeanette Fredericks, with photographs by Sergio Burani, will be published in November. This handsome hardcover book is lavishly illustrated and covers our parish's 19th-century origins through the significant events of the past 60 years. Chapters are dedicated to parish schools, Holy Rood cemetery, our impressive collection of artworks, parishioners' reminiscences, and more.
We Built a Family Together belongs on every Assumption family bookshelf, and it makes a great gift for current or former parishioners or Assumption and Bayley-Ellard alumni. You can get a copy for a minimum $16 donation to Assumption prior to December 31; after that date, the requested donation will be $25. The book will be available after weekend Masses beginning November 19-20. A reception and book-signing by Robert and Jeanette will be held in the community room after the 5:30 p.m. Mass on November 19.
