First Holy Communion

On Sunday April 30th, our young children received their First Holy Communion at Ascension.
Congratulations!

We are proud of you and we pray that you will always remain close to the Lord Jesus who gave us the Holy Eucharist as an expression of His deep love for us.

We wish to thank the parents of these children, and our wonderful, devoted catechists for teaching and forming the children in the faith: Alfredo Bellitto, Clare Pinnow, and Eoin Ohagain, and Sheila Burns-Waite.

Sacrament of Confirmation

On Saturday April 29th, nineteen young students received the Sacrament of Confirmation at Ascension Parish. Bishop Alain Faubert conferred the Sacrament.
Congratulations!

We encourage you to continue to confirm and affirm your catholic faith, and with the fullness of the Holy Spirit and the gifts he bestowed upon you, put these gifts to use in service to the Church and our Community.
We thank the parents of these students for their faithfulness in nurturing them in the faith, and for assuring that they attended their Catechism classes on a regular basis.
It is much appreciated.
Continue to encourage them to be responsible and mature christians.
We are ever grateful for the guidance and support provided by Alfredo Bellitto, our ‘Be My Disciples’ catechism leader, and Patricia Smith our loyal and committed 6th Level catechist, and Sheila Burns-Waite from the Priory School;. Thank you on behalf of our whole parish.
