Scouting Food Drive THANK YOU!
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

50/50 Raffle Fundraiser
We are very excited to bring back our 50/50 Raffle Fundraiser for the parish.
There are 200 tickets available for sale and you (or your team) can purchase your ticket at $100 each for your chance to win big!!!
On Saturday, May 18th at 5pm, in the parish hall we will have a cocktail party, where we’ll draw the winner. Admission to the cocktail party is included with your raffle ticket. 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! The winner does not have to attend the event to win, they will receive a text message and we will contact them directly.
You can visit the parish website (https://ascensionrvc.org/) to start purchasing tickets.
50/50 raffle tickets will also be sold in between and after services on each Sunday in the Parish Hall until the event.
