With winter weather possible in the near future, I wish to communicate the procedure Assumption will follow in the event of inclement weather. Please be aware that as well as trying to keep our schedule as regular as possible, we need to also weigh the risks and safety of having parishioners travel to and around our facility in inclement weather. Many parishioners travel significant distances to attend Mass and that weighs heavily on my mind.
 
During weekdays if Metro Nashville schools are closed, Mass will be cancelled and the office will be closed.
 
On weekends, Saturday & Sunday, the situation will be a little harder to predict. Obviously, you will need to use your judgement as to if it is safe to travel from your home to Assumption. The local news & weather would be the first resource as to road conditions. If the newscast advises “ If you don’t have to be out on the roads, please stay home” please heed their advice. We do not have the resources for snow and ice removal and our gravel parking lot cannot be plowed. It is also unlikely that metro will plow side streets in time for Mass.
 
If there is snow and ice on a Sunday, it is dangerous to travel, the Sunday Obligation is commuted to the reading of the Mass readings & collect and the recitation of the family rosary for all families who are unable to make it to Mass safely.

If you need to contact the office please do so by email to lcooper@assumptionchurchnashville.org.
