Help us fill 100 bags!
October is Giving Thanks Month at Ascension!
Join us in celebrating our Centennial through community generosity by helping Sister Dianna stock her food bank.
Our Goal:
Fill 100 bags with non-perishable food items valued at $50 or more per bag.
The food bank has served the local community of Point St. Charles since the 1970s, when Sister Dianna Lieffers, Pastoral Assistant, took it over.
Now operating from a former dollar store on Centre Street, it provides food to more than 200 people each week.
Pick up a bag at the front of the church and add your name to the sign-up sheet.
Your Commitment:
Fill your bag with items from Sister Dianna’s Food Bank Wish List and return it to the Ascension at Mass by November 1.

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.
