Please join us this Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. for our parish feast celebrated with a festal Eucharist and confirmations with a grand party following. This Ascension Day, we welcome The Rt. Rev. Andrew St. John as celebrant, preacher, and confirming Bishop, and also support our confirmands that evening. It’s also a great day to invite your friends!

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.
