Scouting Food Drive 2024
Hello everyone! On behalf of our Boy Scout Troop, I would like to thank the Ascension parishioners for helping contribute to our Spring food drive. Our Troop was able to collect over 1,400 pounds of food and personal dignity items, which were distributed to local charities for our neediest neighbors, and almost 160 pounds of that food came from this parish. Thank you again for your kindness and for supporting our Troop in our mission of service to the community! — Christian Carbonaro, Life Scout, Troop 332

There are also cocktail party only tickets available on the website for those who chose not to purchase a raffle ticket but would like to attend the event. Please come dressed in your best cocktail attire!!!
If we meet our goal of selling all 200 tickets, we will have a prize of $10,000 for the winner and $10,000 raised for the church, so we ask that you share this with your family, friends, co-workers to help sell some tickets!
