As announced.

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.

As you have heard me mention over the past  year, "To whom much is given, much will be required."  (Luke 12:48), these words are more than just a motto, they guide us as we live out our daily lives.
 
It has been an honor to serve the Diocese of Nashville as Bishop this past year. I want to thank you all for making the 2018 Bishop's Annual Appeal an overwhelming success by the generous giving of your time, talent and treasure and for all your prayers.

We need your continued support this year, as every dollar given in support of the Bishop's Annual Appeal for Ministries promotes life change. The Bishop's Appeal provides support for each of our ministries; seminarian training, religious education for those of all ages, youth and children's ministries, and support for those in our community most in need. These ministries not only generate life change in the present, but they also impact eternity.

I am inviting you to join with me to help us reach our community with the love and hope that only Christ can bring.
 
Please continur to pray for me and know that I am praying for you.
 
Sincerely yours in Christ,

Most Reverend J. Mark Spalding                                                                                                                       Bishop of Nashville
