Reminder: Church of the Ascension has a fish fry EVERY Friday during Lent! The meal costs $8.00 for adults. All proceeds go to the Parish to fulfill Parish needs; provided by the Knights of Columbus ("KofC").

The fish fry is at 5PM.

The fish fry DOES feature baked fish options for the health-conscious. This is all you can eat. Join fellow parishioners and parishioners-to-be in the parish hall (Cafeteria) in the lower level. Beer and wine is served, and is included, although there is a donation cup at the bar.

Stations of the Cross (Scriptural Way of the Cross) follow in the chapel at 7PM, usually lasting about twenty minutes. Do not worry about procedure; just grab a station guide (at the Baptismal font), and read from it and follow everyone else (essentially, genuflect when others do - there are no phrases to remember as it is all in the guide - just feel comfortable).

The only responsorial is "Because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world." During this time, devotees genuflect.

This is an incredible devotion in following the Passion. Remember to place the station guides back at the font as you exit, as these are reused; the parish has a limited supply.

I hope to see you all at the fish fry and Stations!
