Ascension students participate in a school-wide mass each Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. Students lector and the choir sings at this celebration. The school band, liturgical ensemble, and choirs also play throughout the year. These instrumentalists play under the direction of Ms. Elizabeth Bump. This weekly liturgical experience allows the children to share worship with others in their school community.
Additionally, each class shares the task of preparing the liturgy on a rotating basis under the direction of their classroom teacher. Ms. Elizabeth Bump prepares the students to proclaim the Word of God. This involvement in liturgy planning heightens and enhances a student’s knowledge and understanding of Catholic worship. Students are encouraged to bring a food offering to mass each week. Students assist with the packing and loading of foodstuffs for the Ascension Social Concerns Food Pantry.
