Dear Parishioners and Friends of Ascension,
Today is Pentecost Sunday and it is the last day of the
Easter Season. Pentecost celebrates the great outpouring of
the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and upon the church.
The word Pentecost, meaning 50, derives its name from the
feast of weeks, a Jewish festival of the early harvest
celebrated 50 days after Passover. Early Christians
reinterpreted the Jewish festival as a commemoration of the
coming of the Holy Spirit. On Pentecost Sunday, as we
celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, we call to mind
the gifts of the spirit that we have received. The use of our
gifts releases the power of the Spirit. Pray today, that the
spirit may guide us in using our gifts well for the service of
others.
I would also like to thank most sincerely the many people
who were involved in our Ascension celebration on May
25th. Thanks to all those who worked on the beautiful
liturgy, particularly our wonderful parish musicians, our
choir from the 11a.m. Mass, our Walkirios, and our Jazz
musicians, our altar servers, our lectors and those who
decorated the church. I would like to thank as well those
who were involved in the party in the school gym after the
Mass, all the wonderful work coordinated by Esperanza,
and so many others including wonderful food, wonderful
entertainment, and most importantly, a very spirited
gathering of Ascension parishioners. The music and food
is very representative of the diversity that makes up
Ascension. Thank you all!
And finally, next weekend, a representative from our
Finance Committee will speak briefly at each of the
masses. They wish to get back on track of giving a
financial update a few times a year. I’m sure that during
next week’s presentation, they will again invite
parishioners to consider online giving. Online giving is
particularly important during the summer months. During
the summer months, many parishioners go away and our
collections go down significantly but our bills do not go
down, if anything, they go up because of the air
conditioning in the church. Might I be premature in
anticipating their request, and ask you now to consider
online giving? Thank you again for all you do for
Ascension.
Peace,
Fr. Kearney
PASTOR’S LETTER NOTAS DEL PASTOR
Queridos Feligreses y Amigos de la Ascensión,
Hoy es domingo de Pentecostés y es el último día de la
temporada de la Pascua. Pentecostés celebra el gran
derrame del Espíritu Santo sobre los apóstoles y sobre la
iglesia. La palabra pentecostés, que significa cincuenta,
deriva su nombre de la fiesta de las semanas, un festival
judío de la cosecha temprana celebrada 50 días después de
la pascua judía. Los primeros cristianos reinterpretaron el
festival judío como una conmemoración de la venida del
Espíritu Santo. El domingo de Pentecostés, cuando
celebramos los dones del Espíritu Santo, recordamos los
dones del Espíritu que hemos recibido. El uso de nuestros
dones suelta el poder del Espíritu. Recen hoy para que el
Espíritu nos guíe en cómo utilizar bien nuestros dones en
servicio a los demás.
También me gustaría dar las gracias muy sinceramente a las
muchas personas que estuvieron involucradas en nuestra
celebración de la Ascensión el 25 de mayo. Gracias a todos
aquellos que trabajaron en la bella liturgia, en particular, a
nuestros maravillosos músicos parroquiales, nuestro coro
de la misa de las 11 de la mañana, nuestros Walkirios y
nuestros músicos de jazz, nuestros monaguillos, nuestros
lectores y aquellos que decoraron la iglesia. De igual
manera, me gustaría dar las gracias a aquellos que
estuvieron involucrados en la fiesta en el gimnasio de la
escuela después de la misa, todo el trabajo maravilloso
coordinado por Esperanza y tantos otros, incluyendo
comida maravillosa, maravilloso entretenimiento y de suma
importancia, una reunión muy animada de feligreses de la
Ascensión. La música y la comida son muy representativas
de la diversidad que compone a la Ascensión. ¡Gracias a
todos!
Y finalmente, el próximo fin de semana, un representante
de nuestro Comité de Finanzas hablará brevemente en cada
una de las misas. El comité desea retomar la costumbre de
dar un informe financiero corriente varias veces al año.
Estoy seguro que durante la presentación de la próxima
semana ellos invitarán de nuevo a los feligreses a que
consideren donaciones electrónicamente. Las donaciones
electrónicas son particularmente importantes durante los
meses de verano. Durante los meses de verano, muchos
feligreses salen fuera y nuestras colectas bajan
significativamente pero nuestras facturas no bajan, si acaso,
suben a causa del aire acondicionado en la iglesia. ¿Puedo
ser prematuro en anticipar su solicitud y pedirles ahora que
consideren sus donaciones electrónicamente? Gracias otra
vez por todo lo que hacen por la Ascensión.
Paz,
Padre Kearney

Do you play a musical instrument?
Did you once play an instrument that might need a little dusting off? Calling all violinists, flutists, clarinetists, and any other instrumentalists
in the parish! Our organist-choirmaster is taking inventory of all Ascension musicians as well as lining up special music for the summer and fall Masses. We welcome your talents and participation! Please contact Preston Smith to arrange a meeting and rehearsal. Email him this week, before you forget! [email protected]
Shelter Update
Imagine linguini with clam sauce, meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy, chicken parmesan, chicken in mushroom sauce, roasted vegetables and fresh salads. Picture selections of brownies, festive cookies, muffins and apple
pie; bagels, French toast, sausages and steaming coffee. This
could be the menu from your favorite restaurant, instead these are the delicious foods the shelter volunteers prepared in March for the 78 guests who stayed at the shelter. We are particularly grateful to a family that made a cash donation to fund the teens in the Spirit Squad so they could cook a meal for the guests.
In April we responded to the need of our cooperating agencies and opened the shelter on Sunday nights in addition to the usual Saturday nights. Across 7 nights in April we provided 102 hot meals and safe beds. The shelter will be open through the end of June. There is still time for you to support this ministry. New volunteers and donors are always welcome. Would your family, office, class, troop, or group like to assemble and donate gift bags for our homeless guests? Contact Kelley at [email protected] for more information on how to donate. If you would like more information about the ministry email: [email protected] . Volunteers are needed to cook, for setup/cleanup, and as overnight hosts. For volunteer sign ups go to: http://bit.ly/shelter-signup.
Noticias del Refugio
Imagínense linguini con salsa de almeja, carne mechada, pura de papa, pollo a la parmesana, pollo en salsa de champiñón, verduras asadas, y ensaladas frescas. Postres como brownies, galletas, muffins, pie de manzana. Para desayunar: bagels, pan francés, salchichas, y café. Fácil podría ser el menú de tu restauran favorito, pero se trata de los deliciosos alimentos preparados por los voluntarios del refugio en marzo para nuestros 78 huéspedes. En particular, estamos agradecidos por la familia que donó para ser posible que los jóvenes del Spirit Squad pudieran cocinar para los huéspedes.
En abril, respondimos a la necesidad de las agencias para personas sin hogar y abrimos el refugio las noches de domingo además de los sábados normales. En total de las 7 noches en abril, proveímos 102 comidas calientes y camas seguras para dormir. El refugio estará abierto hasta el fin de junio. Todavía hay tiempo para apoyar a este ministerio. Nuevos voluntarios y donantes son siempre bienvenidos. Tal vez tu familia, oficina, clase, tropa, o grupo quisiera armar y donar bolsas de regalo para nuestros huéspedes sin hogar? Para más información sobre donativos, contacte à Kelley à [email protected], y para preguntas en general, contacte à [email protected]. Se requieren voluntarios para cocinar, preparación y limpieza, y anfitriones de la noche. Para inscribirse como voluntario, vaya à: http://bit.ly/shelter-signup.
