The Ascension of the Lord | Holy Day of Obligation | 14 May

Today, the Church celebrates the Ascension of the Lord — the day Jesus returned to the Father, not to leave us behind, but to prepare us for the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

Before ascending into heaven, Jesus told His disciples: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” (Acts 1:8)

As we journey toward Pentecost, may today remind us to wait with expectant hearts, just as the disciples did in the Upper Room — united in prayer, filled with hope, and longing for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Come and celebrate Holy Mass with us today at 12 noon and 8pm!
