Join us for a special evening of prayer in honor of our parish’s 60th anniversary on Thursday, July 10, at 7:00 PM, beginning in the church. While praying the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary, we will process through the school and cafeteria, continue outside to the gym and parish office, and conclude at the statue of the Blessed Mother in front of the stained-glass windows. (weather dependent)
As you enter the church, you will see signs for each of the six decades the parish has been in existence, beginning with 1965. Please sit in the section marked with the sign that includes the year you and your family joined the parish. For example, if you joined in 2001, sit in the section marked with the decade covering 1995–2004. Parishioners from each decade will take turns leading the Rosary.
If you’re unsure when you joined, someone will be available in the Gathering Space to assist you.
All are encouraged to bring a rosary and wear blue in honor of our Blessed Mother.
In case you missed last weekend’s news about our sudden pastoral transition, Fr. Robert has received a new assignment at St Bartholomew. His final event outside of Mass will be our 60th Anniversary Rosary Procession, which begins at 7 PM. In addition to celebrating our parish, this will be a special opportunity to thank him personally before his departure.
Join the Ascension PTO for our Cornhole Tournament on Saturday, July 12 at 6 PM on the school football field.
For a $45 team entry fee, you and a partner will compete in a double-elimination bracket for cash prizes, enjoy ice-cold beer and seltzers, and even get the chance to “split the pot.” Hot dogs, burgers and brats will be available for purchase throughout the evening.
Please register your team by Saturday, July 5.
If you’re interested in donating cornhole boards for the event, please email us at ascensionlonghornspto@gmail.com. We can’t wait to see you there! Register Here

In gratitude, Terry Becker shares this call to worship from Psalm 96:1–2:
“Lord, I will sing to You a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, bless His name; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.”
