Beginning November 19, 2022, through November 18, 2023, the diocese will celebrate the 75th anniversary of its founding on November 15, 1947. The year of celebration will begin with a Mass with Bishop Vásquez, and a program featuring a keynote speaker, live praise & worship music, our Diocesan choir and more! In addition, Bishop Vásquez has designated five Pilgrimage Sites around the Diocese, a commemorative book for purchase and a history display that will travel to parishes.
Our parish, St Mary of the Assumption, Taylor was chosen by the Bishop as a pilgrimage site! We are honored to welcome and host the pilgrims from all over the Diocese who will travel to St Mary's to visit and pray in our beautiful sanctuary.
The church sanctuary is open weekdays during parish office hours, Saturdays 9-6:30 and Sundays until 4pm.
Mass and Confession times can be found here. Street parking is available. Visitors may also park in the Taylor city lot outside city hall.
