Book of Remembrance
During the month of November we remember and pray for the Holy Souls in our Universal Church.
There is a book near the sanctuary for the name of your loved ones and friends.
We invite you to write their names in the book, and we will remember them at all our masses, and pray for the repose of their souls.
‘Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.’
May they rest in peace.

The Ascension of Our Lord choir will present
a Christmas Concert
on November 30th at 2:00 PM
the First Sunday of Advent.
It will feature our wonderful Ascension Choir, including our four McGill Section Leads, and our newly appointed McGill Assistant Organist under the direction of the Ascension parish’s Organist and Choir Director, Joel Peters.
The concert will include works by Rutter, Berlioz, Chilcott, as well as excerpts from Handel’s Messiah.
As has been the case in the past, those attending will also be asked to join the choir in singing a few Christmas carols.
Over the last three years, parishioner donations have contributed significantly to the Ascension’s collaboration with McGill’s Schulich School of Music in hiring students in the Voice program to lead the choir’s soprano, alto, bass and tenor sections.
Please join us for an afternoon of inspiring music in the setting of our beautiful Ascension of Our Lord church at 375 Kitchener Ave. in Westmount
to begin the Advent season.
The concert is open to all.
We accept a freewill offering
and tax receipts will be issued for donations of $35 and more.
Refreshments will be served following the concert.
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.
