ASCENSION CATHOLIC CHURCH
SECOND GRADE FIRST RECONCILIATION On Saturday, December 12th our
second grade students will be receiving the Sacrament of
Reconciliation! We ask our parish family and friends to please pray
for these students as they culminate their preparations for the
Sacrament of their First Reconciliation and come to know the loving
mercy of the Lord Jesus more deeply in their lives.
NO CLASS—DECEMBER 16th Due to a lack of catechists and
substitute catechists, Faith Formation classes for all session
times on Wednesday December 16th have been cancelled. The last day
of Faith Formation classes for all in-class students this semester
will now be on Wednesday, December 9th. Classes will resume as
normal on Wednesday, January 6th. See you in the new year!
If you have any questions or need more information on Faith
Formation, please contact Blane Schriock, Director of Faith
Formation, at [email protected] or call the Parish
Office.

FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION The Feast of the Immaculate
Conception is Tuesday,
December 8th. It is a holy day of obligation. Masses will be at
8:00 am and 7:00 pm. Hospitality ministers, lectors, video
operators, and altar servers are needed. You may sign up on
Ministry Pro, call 223-3606, or email Rita at
[email protected]. Thank you for your service.
COMPASSION MINISTRY We are looking for parishioners that are
interested in participating in the Compassion Ministry. The
Compassion Ministry reaches out to Ascension Parishioners when they
have experienced a loss of a family member due to a death.
Currently there are six groups that actively participate in this
ministry. Each group has five to eight individuals that work
together to provide a home visit, a meal, prayers, or other
short-term assistance, if needed.
This ministry was started eight years ago, and since that time
we have reached out to more than 150 families. If you are
interested in participating, or you would like more information,
please contact Tammie Johnson at 226-5380.
CHILDREN’S ENVELOPES Children’s envelopes were distributed in
Faith Formation classes on Wednesday, November 18th to those who
re-quested them. For those families whose children are doing home
study or attend Light of Christ Catholic schools, you may pick up
envelopes in the church foyer. If you did not request envelopes for
your child(ren), you may pick up a box in the church foyer and sign
your child’s name by the number on the sheet provided. Thank you
for teaching your children the values of stewardship: time, talent,
and treasure.
RETIREMENT FUND FOR RELIGIOUS In good times and bad, senior
Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests have
dedicated themselves to service and acts of mercy. Today, they pray
for an aching world. Yet years of serving for little or no pay have
left their religious communities without enough retirement savings.
Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps provide
medications, nursing care, and other necessities. Please be
generous.
