The Search Committee has completed our interviews with prospective rector candidates. The interview process was extremely enlightening and informative, and we are very grateful to each of the candidates we spoke with. We are now moving on to the site visit stage, where members of the search committee will visit the candidates at their home parishes. These visits will take place over the next few weeks. After visiting each candidate, our task will be to narrow the list to our finalists. We ask for your continued prayers for the search committee, the vestry, and all the candidates who have offered themselves in service to our parish.

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.
