Ascension Catholic Parish

The Pastoral Care Ministry warmly invites everyone to a Bereavement Mass next Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at 6 pm.

This service is held especially for those grieving the loss of a loved one, as well as anyone who wishes to offer their presence and support.

We will begin with Mass at 6 pm, followed by a candle-lighting ceremony, a time of prayer and quiet reflection, and a light reception in the Narthex.

We hope you will be a part of this special and meaningful event as we walk together in faith, compassion, and care.
