Assumption School will be collecting non-perishable food to donate to the Interfaith Food Pantry to spread the gift of food to those in need. Starting December 7 – December 17 all items can be left in the front entrance of Assumption School or bring it at drop off in the morning. All non-perishables are welcome. Below is a list of the most needed items:

  • Muffin or roll mix
  • Stuffing
  • Canned gravy
  • Powdered potatoes
  • Brownie mix
  • Canned vegetables, yams or sweet potatoes
  • Cake mix/frosting
  • Soup (low sodium)
  • Canned fruit
  • Rice
  • Peanut butter/jelly

We appreciate your generosity. Many blessings to all!

The cloistered Carmelite Sisters of Morristown are devoted to praying more than eight hours a day for peace in our community and in the world. They are dependent on the goodwill of the community to meet their basic needs and unfortunately, the Assumption Church annual bake sale benefiting the Carmelite Sisters cannot be held this year due to the Covid pandemic.

In lieu of the bake sale, volunteers have created a cookbook of desserts, “Sweet Carmel,” which includes Catholic themed photos taken by a professional food photographer!

There will be a limited number of printed copies available by mid-December. The 80+ page cookbook will be high end magazine quality with a bounded spine. There is also a digital version that can be downloaded immediately upon payment.

Thank you for your consideration and your support. Please keep the Carmelite Sisters in your prayers, especially during these trying times. Blessings.

The world’s thy ship and not thy home
