About

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church has anchored Catholic life in Duncan since the early 1900s, when itinerant priests first celebrated Mass in private homes and a modest wooden church was dedicated in 1909. Today the parish worships at 711 W. Hickory Ave. in a 1960 sanctuary whose Italian marble appointments still reflect the community that built it, and it continues to serve families across Stephens County from that same neighborhood campus. Weekend liturgies include an English Mass on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. and Sunday at 10:00 a.m., with a Spanish Mass at 6:00 p.m. Saturday and additional Spanish Masses on Monday and Tuesday evenings, giving Hispanic Catholics in south-central Oklahoma a regular place to pray in their own language. Confession is offered Saturday afternoon in Duncan and by appointment, while weekday adoration precedes daily Mass and the Divine Mercy and Saint John Paul II Chapel remains open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for quiet prayer, the Rosary, and veneration of a relic of St. John Paul II. Visitors and parishioners can reach the office at 580-255-0590 or parish@assumptionduncanok.com, and the parish website at assumptionduncanok.com publishes bulletins, ministry schedules, and a Spanish translation option for families looking to connect.

Why we like Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church belongs on a #9 list of Spanish-speaking churches in Duncan because it gives south-central Oklahoma families a local Catholic home with regular worship in Spanish, not a one-off translated hour. Saturday evening Mass is celebrated in Spanish, and Monday and Tuesday evenings add midweek Spanish Mass on the Duncan campus, so shift workers and families can return during the week. The parish also keeps English weekend and weekday liturgies, Saturday confession, adoration before daily Mass, and a Divine Mercy and Saint John Paul II Chapel open through the day, which together support both prayer and sacramental life. Its roots run back to the first Masses celebrated in Duncan homes in 1902 and a parish formally dedicated in 1909, giving the congregation more than a century of continuity in the same Hickory Avenue neighborhood. Serving Duncan while also maintaining a Sunday community in nearby Marlow, and publishing ministry schedules and a Spanish website option, the parish functions as a bilingual hub for Stephens County rather than a metro-only ministry.
