Fourth Sunday of Lent

Our Parish celebrates the holy season of Lent through Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. Many Lenten opportunities are available as we journey through Lent 2023 together at Ascension and St. Edmund Parish. Please see here for the calendar for Masses, devotions and spiritual enrichment opportunities.

The DMI Survey is a great way to reflect on your own spiritual growth while helping the furture of our parish. Complete the short 15 minute ANONYMOUS survey by clicking the HEADLINE above.

All children ages 4 (or almost 4) to 8 years are invited to participate. They will experience the Word in age appropriate language while adults and older children reflect on the Mass in the main sanctuary.

During Mass, children are called to gather at the altar right before the first reading. They then return to their seats during the collection of gifts.

If you have never experienced a Triduum, we invite you to do so this year.
