The Music Ministry has been a distinguishing feature of Ascension of Our Lord Parish from the outset. The founders commissioned the Casavant brothers to build and install the magnificent Opus 1344 organ, and Lynwood Farnham performed the inaugural concert in 1930.

Directed by Joel Peters, the choir holds pride of place in our liturgical and musical tradition.

Through the Choir and Music Ministry Fund, the parish hires four McGill University voice students as section heads for our voluntary choir.

The organ was fully restored in 2020-2022 thanks to a successful capital campaign and the support of le Conseil du patrimoine religieux du Québec.
