Welcome to St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church

Welcome to St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic ChurchWelcome to St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic ChurchWelcome to St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church

Special Announcement From Father Chris:

"I want to take a few moments, to share important information about a topic which has become a serious concern for many in our parish community. I would like to offer you a few clarifying facts.


On Friday, April 18 and Saturday, April 19, 2025 our parish, St. Mary's in Van Wert and our diocese were informed of videos on social media with a new allegation regarding Father Joseph Schmelzer.


The diocese in accord with our policy, has informed the civil authorities of this new allegation. This is the first and only such allegation from St. Mary Parish Van Wert.


Per policy, the diocese does not begin any internal process until civil authorities have conducted their own investigation. However, we do and will cooperate fully with civil authorities in any investigation. Fr. Schmelzer was placed on administrative leave 22 years ago in 2003 and permanently removed from public ministry in 2007.


If you have any personal knowledge on this matter, call local authorities immediately. I understand this is a very unsettling time in our community. Please join me in praying for all those involved and for our parish family for healing, sensitivity and Easter peace."
