New to
Ascension? Here's what "Ascension Turns
50" is
all about: As we approach the 50th
anniversary of Ascension, it is time to begin planning for the remodeling
and modernizing of the church building. The Work of the
People
In 1964 our parish, to be called Ascension,
was commissioned on a 13-acre prune orchard. The work of the people
transformed a drying shed into the initial worship space, and the first
Mass was held in October. Construction began on our church building
shortly thereafter and was completed and dedicated in June
1967. For 2014, our 50th anniversary, Fr. Joe
calls on us again to apply the work of the people, by bringing our vision
for modernizing and remodeling our present worship space. We call this
project, Ascension Turns
50 - Modernizing the Church
Modernizing
the The goal is to complete the initial phases
of the remodeling by our anniversary in 2014.
The first phase of this project, then, is to establish
a plan. We shall begin by gathering ideas, suggestions, and possibilities from
you.
We ask everyone
to
participate.
With all inputs in by November, this will lead to a
preliminary plan by January 2010. This will then be followed by a series
of town hall meetings with all parishioners invited to review the ideas,
and to select and prioritize the changes we want to complete by
2014.
