Advent Mass of Concern
This weekend of November 27-28, we will have our Advent Mass of Concern.
At this time of year we collect funds to support our less fortunate neighbours, who depend on our help for money to purchase food and other necessities at Christmas as well as throughout the year.
For those of you who use the Envelope system there is an envelope in your box.
For others, an envelope can be found for this purpose at all the entrances of the Church.
We are grateful to you for your generous support.

Gifts for Children at Christmas
The children who attend our Be My Disciples catechism classes are once again invited to bring a gift to support the ‘Share the Warmth’ toy drive.
We have been doing this for several years, and it brings a smile to less fortunate children at Christmas.
We are looking for toys and gifts for boys and girls of all ages, including children between the ages of 10 and 14.
Please drop off the gift when you come to church, or it can be left at the Rectory.
It would be appreciated if they were brought before December 17th.
Thank you on behalf of ‘Share the Warmth’.

Wardens serve a term of 3 years, renewable once. They assist the pastor in the financial and temporal affairs of the parish. Anyone 18 years of age, a practicing catholic, who lives within the boundaries of the parish can serve as a warden.

Christmas Flowers
There is a tradition at Ascension of parishioners making a donation for the purchase of Christmas flowers to decorate our Sanctuary in memory of a loved one or special intention.
Envelopes can be found at the back of the church.
We much appreciate your generosity.
Food Bank Donation
We have a new 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.
