Please join us on Sunday, March 6th, for our traditional Pancake Celebration in preparation for our Lenten season. The celebration will begin immediately after our 11:00 am service and be filled with plenty of fun, food and spirit of Mardi Gras. A sign up sheet is in the Parish Hall for those who are inspired to bring coffee cake, cookies or other Mardi Gras favorites for the community to enjoy. Or, you may also email Denise Kelly at denise@ascensionnyc.org with your traditional favorite and she will include it on the list. All members and visitors are welcome to join us in this annual favorite.

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.
