Looking Together: March 31

On Sunday, March 31, following the 11 a.m. service, we welcome guest Ascension Forum leader Carolyn Halpin-Healy, Executive Director of Arts and Minds, an organization committed to improving quality of life for people living with Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias through engagement with art. She has been a lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum for many years, and also co-taught a class at Union Seminary with Mother Posey Krakowski, focusing on contemplative seeing of art from a variety of religious traditions. She says of this Sunday’s forum, “I would like to focus on collective looking and dialogue, and how at its most robust, it can be a kind of communion and spur to transformation.”


The Images that Form Us

Lenten series on Sundays at Ascension

Please join us for a forum series exploring the power of images (including language) to shape our self-understanding, our faith and worship, our commitment to justice, our vision of wholeness, our relationship with God and more. The series will be led by the Ascension clergy, and guests.

  • Lent 4 (Sunday, March 31): “Looking Together” (guest presenter, Carolyn Halpin-Healy, Executive Director of Arts and Minds)
  • Lent 5 (Sunday, April 7): “In God’s Image” (the clergy)

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.
