We already knew that this parish was an old community in Cambodia. Many were killed. In Battambang, the original church structure was destroyed; the compound and surrounding lands were confiscated for different use.Because of Pol Pot regime everything in this parish was destroyed but the faith of the Catholics is still a living and continuing in the difficult ways. they met each other by 4 or 5 people in one place and started their pray to the Lord.
On 4th January 2013, In Battambang parish was celebrated the anniversary 223th for the parish. there are joined from some of the commnunities in Battambang prefecture as Chomnom, Svay Sisophon, Tahen, Chrab Veil, Tapong, Nikom, Knachromeas, Snerng, and Battambang. Totally around 500 people came to this celebration. Before the Mass there is a Mary procession from the Bishop house to the Church. Why we have to have a Mary Procession? Because this parish was named Our Lady of the Assumption parish,
After the Mass there are performance from the difference communities as dancing, singing, comedy.... etc. to congratulate to the 223th of the Battambang parish.
