The Ascension of Our Lord celebrates the day that Jesus Christ, in the presence of His apostles, ascended bodily into Heaven. The Ascension occurs on the 40th day after Easter Sunday, which would have been celebrated on Thursday, May 20th this year. Please note that for this year only, the bishops of New Jersey have transferred the observance of the holy day of The Ascension of the Lord to Sunday, May 24th. During the pandemic, dispensation has already been granted from the obligation of the faithful to participate in Mass on Sundays and Holydays. As always, we invite you to celebrate in the beauty and goodness of observing Mass as per our “regular” Mass schedule (which during this time is live-streamed on Facebook, then posted on our parish website).
