the cardinal's appeal
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.
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 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. 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 que cuidan a los enfermos y aquellos que son los más vulnerable entre nosotros.

Pastor's Column
Dear Parishioners and Friends of Ascension,
I am happy to announce that we at Ascension Church are in the process of organizing a pilgrimage to the the Eternal City of Rome and the hilltop town of Assisi—as part of our parish’s celebration of the Jubilee Year of Hope.
I had not initially thought to organize a pilgrimage for this Jubilee Year. But over the past couple of months, some parishioners began to approach me asking if we might consider a pilgrimage to Rome during this Jubilee Year. I was surprised and moved by the interest—and it led me to seriously consider whether we could, even at this late date, make such a pilgrimage happen. After consulting with a trusted Catholic pilgrimage company and discussing options, I believe it is very possible.
If we can gather enough interested pilgrims in a short time, we will be offering a 9-day / 7-night pilgrimage to Italy, scheduled to leave New York on ThursdayNovember 6th. The trip would include 5 nights in Rome and 2 nights in Assisi, two of the most spiritually and historically rich places in our Catholic tradition.
Our time in Rome will include visits to:- The Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel
- All four major basilicas of Rome (including St. Peter’s Basilica)
- The ancient Christian Catacombs
- The Colosseum
- The Angelus with Pope Leo XIV in St. Peter’s Square
These days in Rome will not only be filled with some of the most well know sites in Rome, but will also offer moments of deep prayer, daily Mass, and reflection as we walk the same streets where Saints Peter and Paul once proclaimed the Gospel.
Following Rome, we will travel to Assisi, the beloved hometown of St. Francis and St. Clare, where peace seems to radiate from the very stones of the city. There, we will visit the Basilica of St. Francis, the Church of St. Clare, and take time for quiet prayer and rest in one of the most spiritually powerful places in the world.
The cost of the pilgrimage starts at $3,650 per person, based on double occupancy. This includes airfare, hotels, most meals, and all site entry fees. Because of the lateness of organizing this pilgrimage, we will need to receive serious interest and commitments—including deposits—within the next 6 to 8 weeks in order to secure group rates and finalize arrangements.
I truly believe this Jubilee pilgrimage could be a powerful opportunity of grace for our parish community—a time to renew our hope, strengthen our faith, and walk more closely with Christ. I hope you will prayerfully consider joining us on this sacred journey.
This weekend, an informational flyer is available in the back of the church.

In the meantime, we continue to pray for an end to violence and war and for the Lord’s farewell gift of peace.Peace, Fr. Kearney
