Parish Life

The Ascension Women's Cooperative helps us all get in the spirit of the season with the Cookie Walk and Craft Fair, held the first Saturday of December each year. That same day, the youngest shoppers at Ascension are invited to the Children's Christmas Boutique, where they can shop for everyone on their list, with the help of Ascension students. Thanks to all the volunteers, the bakers, the vendors and the shoppers for a wonderful, wintry, festive day.
