Welcome to the web home of the northernmost parish in the Catholic Diocese of Austin, Assumption Catholic Church in West, TX.  We have been serving West and the surrounding communities for 125 years.  We are pleased to have you visit our website, and we hope you will visit us this Sunday.

The Most Reverend Joe S. Vasquez, Bishop, and Daniel E. Garcia, Auxiliary Bishop, both of the Diocese of Austin, presented George Meurer the Lumen Gentium Award on Tuesday evening, June 20, 2017 at the Frank W. Mayborn Civic and Convention Center, Temple, Texas with his family, members of the St. Mary's Church of the Assumption Parish Advisory Board, special guests, and Reverend J. Paul Hudson present.

George has been a Eucharist Minister for 44 years serving the church and nursing homes in the area.  He is a member of the KJT Catholic Union of Texas and has served as an officer for 8 years.  Additionally, George has participated in fundraising efforts for KJT for 30 years.  He has been a member of the 50/50 Club for 20+ years where he has greeted new parishioners to the parish community.  George participates in the Stations of the Cross at the church and at West Rest Haven Nursing Home.  You can also find him in the Parish Center kitchen helping Catholic Daughters and KJT in their kolaches and butcha baking fundraisers.  George joined one of the newest ministries at the church by becoming a charter member of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul West Church of the Assumption Conference back in 2014.  He also volunteers at the West Public Library, West Rodeo, and Meals on Wheels.  

The community of West is proud of George and the true Christian gentleman that he is.
