On Saturday, March 5th, we will be celebrating the life of our friend and colleague, bass Walter Richardson. Walter, who sang with our choir and Voices of Ascension for many years, passed away on October 10th after a long illness. We will have a memorial service with music at 5p.m. in the Church and a pot luck reception in the Parish Hall afterward for singers and other friends who knew and loved
Walter. Anyone wishing to attend the reception please contact Denise Kelly at (212) 254-8620 x10 to sign up for food or beverages.

Parish News: November 15
In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz shares how a historian’s request about Pete and Toshi Seeger’s 1943 wedding led to a discovery: the couple married in Ascension’s All Saints Chapel. The marriage register also revealed the officiant, Edward George Harris, a former assistant priest here who later became a distinguished Episcopal leader. As we celebrate our bicentennial, the parish is collecting stories of its saints and its place in New York and Episcopal history, sharing these findings in the weekly newsletter.
