St. Mary of the Assumption Parish & Shrine - Oswego, NY

St. Mary of the Assumption Parish & Shrine - Oswego, NY St. Mary of the Assumption is the official Marian shrine of the Diocese of Syracuse and a personal parish dedicated to the classical Roman Rite.

It has been in the pastoral care of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest since June 2025. Mary of the Assumption Parish is a personal parish for the Extraordinary Form of the Mass and is also dedicated to encouraging a great devotion to the Blessed Mother through the Rosary and the Brown Scapular. On August 15th, Bishop Douglas Lucia elevated the status of the Church for the Parish to that of a Diocesan Shrine. According to Church law, a shrine is “a church or other sacred place which, with the approval of the local Ordinary [bishop], is frequented by the faithful as pilgrims by reason of a special devotion”. As a diocesan shrine, both the Extraordinary Form of the Mass and the Ordinary Form of the Mass are celebrated. Mary’s was fully consecrated in 1925 when the Church building itself was marked with 12 indelible marks and raised in perpetuum to a higher order, removing it from the malign influence of Satan, and marking it as a Sacred place where abundant graces flow. With the new dedication as a diocesan shrine, it is further a place of prayer, adoration of Our Lord, and devotion to Our Blessed Mother. We invite all parishes and groups of all ages to plan a pilgrimage to the shrine. Pilgrimages consist of a Holy Hour and access to confession. In addition, Holy Mass, a guided tour, presentation, and refreshments can all be arranged to meet your groups specific focus. Please contact Kristie Pauldine at [email protected] for more information or to schedule a pilgrimage. Remember, “Mary is the safest, easiest, shortest, and most perfect way of approaching Jesus.” – St. Louis De Montfort

Easter baskets blessed after Mass.
