On October 18th Bishop John O’Hara will return to Ascension to celebrate a bilingual Mass. There will be no 11:00am or 12:30pm Masses. In their place we will have the Bishop’s Mass at 12:00 noon. At that time he will also bless all the new items from our “wish list”.
We will be starting a new “Ascension Welcoming Ministry” to greet and welcome people to Mass each weekend and answer any questions. Anyone interested please see Michael Elmore in the Sacristy after Mass or send us a message via ascensionchurchnyc.org/contact-us

We are holding training sessions soon for parishioners who want to serve as either lectors or Eucharistic Ministers at the English Masses at Ascension. Lectors read the holy scriptures at Mass and Eucharistic Ministers assist in distributing the Precious Body and Blood at Communion. All Catholics who have received the sacrament of Confirmation can serve in these roles. Please contact Andrea Gilbert at 646-943-0916 or andreagilbert212@gmail.com if you would like more information.
