Ascension Generously Supports our Wheelchair Sunday Campaign!

This past weekend (December 14-15) we conducted our Wheelchair Sunday campaign.  As we do every year, the various Knights of Columbus Councils in the Austin diocese combine their resources to purchase a crate of 110 wheelchairs to be given away for free to those in need.  A crate of 110 wheelchairs costs over $16,000, about $150 per wheelchair.  This year, we invited the entire parish to join us in supporting our effort.

Ascension parishioners responded with extraordinary generosity, donating over $2,800 to the Knights of Columbus Wheelchair Mission in our Community.  Parishioners at all four masses (English and Spanish) substantially contributed to the total amount we raised.  We are extremely proud of our Parish, and these results just confirm that we belong to and serve with a wonderful community of faithful Catholic Christians!

Vivat Jesus!
