Nicole Baginsky is making quite a name for herself in high school bowling.  Representing Bishop McCarrick High School, Nicole captured the crown in the Greater Middlesex County (GMC) Individual Girl's Bowling Tournament. In doing so, she became the first student from her high school to ever win an individual title.
 
Nicole, a junior, is a graduate of the parish school and sings in our Choir "Boyan."
 
Our parish is proud of our youth. If you know of an achievement attained by a parishioner youth or young adult, e mail information to the rectory at:  assumptionchurch@verizon.net

On Nov. 2, parishioner Paul J. Makar, who is currently studying for the priesthood at Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, was ordained here in his home parish to the order of subdiaconate. The order of subdeacon immediately precedes the Catholic orders of deacon and priest. Paul, 36, has a degree in Maritime Engineering from SUNY and spent five years in the US Navy. He was released from active duty in 1999 with the rank of lieutenant. He worked as an engineer and served in the Navy Reserves.  In 2004 he felt a calling to the priesthood and entered St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Seminary in Washington, DC. “His father Paul, a married deacon who serves here, his mother and family, along with the rest of the parish couldn’t be prouder,” said Pastor Dubitsky, “What a way to cap off the jubilee year!”

A gala jubilee banquet, with some 360 persons attending, was held on September 21 in the parish school hall. The guest of honor was Metropolitan Archbishop Stefan Soroka of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia who earlier had presided over a solemn Divine Liturgy along with two other bishops, former pastor Archbishop Emeritus Stephen Sulyk and Bishop John Bura.

Mayor Wilda Diaz and Councilman Fernando Gonzales welcomed the guests to Perth Amboy and congratulated Pastor Roman Dubitsky and the parish on this major milestone. “One hundred years of service in this city, what a fantastic achievement that Perth Amboy can be proud of,” said Mayor Diaz.
