Served by priests from St Malachy’s Church, the are included Carleton, Lancaster Heights, Fairville and the outlying districts. In 1850, Rev Edmund Quinn took up residence as the first parish priest. After serving at the border for many years, Father Edward J. Dunphy was appointed in 1867 to serve for a second time at Assumption. During this period, he enlarged and completely renovated the quaint little church to such an extent that it had all the appearances of a new church. In addition, he had a tower and bell installed. In September 1867, four members of the Sisters of Charity of the Immaculate Conception came to the parish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b3a2e1ba5af097c58b7c0/1586866323831-BGUC7B1Z6VK4XYNJ9VC0/old+altar.jpg History During the tenure of Father John J. O’Donovan, the old manse was demolished and replaced with the present rectory. Tragedy struck on October 26, 1904, when lightning hit the church and completely destroyed it. Almost immediately, Father O’Donovan had plans drawn up for a new stone church on the exact site of the old one. On May 2, 1906, the cornerstone was laid by Bishop Timothy Casey and on May 6, 1907, the present Church of the Assumption was solemnly blessed by Bishop Casey. Rev. John J. Ryan was named pastor in 1920 and during his term, St. Patrick’s School was constructed. The present pipe organ was installed in 1942, during the pastorate of Msgr. Francis Lockary. https://www.ourladyofassumptionnb.com/knights-of-columbus daily 0.75 2025-11-04 https://www.ourladyofassumptionnb.com/legion-of-mary daily 0.75 2020-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b3a2e1ba5af097c58b7c0/1586622263162-MPEDIB1VYVWXWSAR526U/IMG_1018.jpg Legion of Mary - Our Lady of the Assumption Praesidium of the Legion of Mary Meetings held Thursday’s at 2:30 pm in Our Lady of the Assumption Church.
