Church of the Ascension

The Ascension Food Pantry  distributed food every Saturday throughout the pandemic, while the number of meals quadrupled, and this work has continued through the present day.

Lead by Robin Klueber, the menu is carefully prepared each week for balance and variety. The volunteer food pantry is run with much effort, detail, and organization, among many volunteers, from dontations, to orders and delivery trucks, through organizing and packaging, often with special touches, and thoughtfully given to a person or family in need. 

Thank you to all of the many wonderful volunteers that continue to worked very hard to meet the needs
   of our friends
     and our community.  

Please donate to the food pantry via a one-time payment, with the Food Pantry noted, at this address:

We are delighted that the
Jazz Mass has fully returned to

The Cardinal's message in English

The Cardinal's message in Spanish

We are reminded as Christians to pray, fast, and give alms to the less fortunate. St. Paul tells us that we must, “Bear [our] share of hardship for the gospel.” In living a Christian life, we are asked to make sacrifices for the good of others and for the good of the Church. In light of the current situation regarding COVID-19, the words of St. Paul seem increasingly important.

Many parishes will experience financial hardship in the near future, and most will struggle to meet critical needs. We understand that the financial circumstances of many of our families are uncertain, but please know of our deep gratitude for whatever you can contribute to support our Church during this challenging time.

if you would like to make a gift to the Cardinal’s Appeal to support the broader needs of our archdiocese, you can do so at

https://cardinalsappeal.org/donate.

We are truly grateful for your generosity. Please know that we will continue to pray for those infected with COVID-19, those caring for the sick, and those that are the
most vulnerable among us. 
 

Los cristianos nos recuerdan rezar, ayunar y dar limosna a los menos afortunados. San Pablo nos dice que debemos, "Soportar [nuestra] parte de las dificultades
por el evangelio ". Al vivir una vida cristiana, se nos pide que hagamos sacrificios por el bien de los demás y por el bien de la Iglesia. A la luz de la situación actual con respecto a COVID-19, las palabras de San Pablo parecen cada vez más importantes.

Muchas parroquias experimentarán dificultades financieras en el futuro cercano, y la mayoría tendrá dificultades para satisfacer las necesidades críticas. Entiendo que las circunstancias financieras de muchos
de nuestras familias no están seguras, pero sepan nuestra profunda gratitud por todo lo que puedan contribuir para apoyar a nuestra Iglesia durante este momento difícil. Apelación del Cardenal para apoyar las necesidades más amplias de nuestra diócesis, puede hacerlo en

https://cardinalsappeal.org/donate.

Estamos realmente agradecidos por su generosidad. Por favor sepan que continuaremos orando por aquellos infectados con COVID-19, aquellos que cuidan a los enfermos y aquellos que son los más vulnerable entre nosotros.
