St. Mary, Church of the Assumption operates as a parish within the religious institutions sector, serving a local Catholic community in Waco, Texas. The congregation traces its origins to 1870 when it was founded as Assumption Parish, and it expanded through multiple church buildings as its membership grew. The first church on 6th Street and Washington Avenue began services in 1872 and was dedicated in 1873, with living quarters for a priest on the second floor. By 1942 the parish was known as St. Mary of the Assumption after the dedication of its fourth church at Fourteenth Street and Washington Avenue. Throughout its history, the parish has established a long-standing presence along Washington Avenue and Ninth Street to accommodate a growing congregation. Based in Waco, Texas, it maintains a modest staffing level and continues to offer religious worship and related community services to its members.
