Father Behr writes:

Dear Parishioners,

On Thursday we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of Our Lord In the Creed on Sunday, we profess:

‘He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.’

The Ascension of Our Lord reveals his glorious Kingship of the Universe. Our Lord is the just judge of every person throughout all of human history.

The Ascension is a Holy Day of Obligation and we have Mass at 10am and 7.30 pm. There is also a Latin Mass at 12.00 Noon.
