100 bags Centennial Initiative — Thank you!
A heartfelt thank you to all our parishioners who responded so generously to our Centennial Community Initiative,
bringing well beyond 100 bags filled with groceries for those in need, and cash donations to support this effort.
Om receiving the bags, Sister Dianna of the Food Bank at St. Gabriel’s expressed her gratitude:
“I am just overwhelmed with the generosity of the parishioners of Ascension of Our Lord.
The words ‘thank you’ do not come near to the gratitude I feel!
I just stood there and cried looking over the sea of bags and boxes as they were carried in from the truck.
This is one Centennial Celebration that gets an A++!”

Celebrating a historic milestone
For 100 years, Ascension of Our Lord Parish has been rooted in prayer, enriched by music, and strengthened by community.
We launched our yearlong celebration with a Centennial Opening Mass on
Sunday, May 24th, 2026
with Presider & Homilist Father Raymond Lafontaine, E.V.
and concelebrant, our pastor Father Lawrence Mac Eachen followed by a vin d’honneur.
We look forward to many more occasions to celebrate in community this year.
Food Bank Donation
We have a tradition in our parish to support the hungry on a more continuous basis. Over 860,000 Canadians visit food banks every month, with over 36% of the donations feeding hungry children.
