We recognize and celebrate the work of Episcopal Charities on May 12th. Together we can provide very real help and show our love to those in need and we can do so through the Episcopal Charities organization. Envelopes for a special offering will be available in the bulletin for this Sunday. For more information about their work see http://www.episcopalcharities-newyork.org
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.
Listen to the sermon preached by the Rev. Liz Maxwell for the Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost, November 8, 2026.
