DEAR PARISHONER:
We are in the process of updating our list of
registered members of Ascension Catholic Church.
We apologize for any inconvenience if you have
already given us an update.
Please call our office at (503) 256-3897 or email:
[email protected] if you need to make
changes or if you haven’t received your envelopes
for this quarter. Thank you.

SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Reading I: 1 Samuel 3:3b-10, 19
Reading II: 1 Corinthians 6:13c-15a, 17-20
Gospel: John 1:35-42
Welcome to Ascension Parish!
If you would like information on becoming a member of this parish community,
please visit the hospitality table on the third weekend of the month.
We Invite You to Read Next Sunday’s Readings: January 25 th, 2015
Reading I: Jonah 3:1-5, 10
Reading II: 1 Corinthians 7:29-31
Gospel: Mark 1:14-20
THE PARISH OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED
on Monday, January 19th
in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
There will be no communion service that morning.
Recent events remind Catholics of our commitment to engage in
dialogue, not just with Muslims, but with all people of differing
religious beliefs. In this 50th anniversary year of the Vatican II
Declaration Nostra Aetate, we remember our call to “recognize,
preserve and promote the good things, spiritual and moral, as
well as the socio-cultural values” found in other religions (Nostra
Aetate, no. 2). In the wake of violence, Auxiliary Bishop Robert
McElroy of San Francisco reminds us that “we continue to labor
for greater understanding and mutual commitment to peace and
religious freedom.”
The Bishops’ Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs
affirmed the teachings of Nostra Aetate in the document
“Dialogue with Muslims,” released in August 2014.
The bishops expressed their conviction that “encounter and dialogue
with persons different than ourselves offers the best opportunity for
fraternal growth, enrichment, witness, and ultimately peace.” As the
world mourns violence under the guise of religious fundamentalism, it’s
important to remember our teaching and recommit ourselves to the
transforming power of dialogue and encounter.

If you know of someone in our community
in need of our presence or prayers, please give us a call.
The Latest From Your Pastoral Council
Representatives: Xiomara Olvera, Christa Read, Cecelia Schnaidt,
Eladio Ramirez, Matt LaMonaca, Teresa Carrasco, Gina Lundberg,
Keith Bailey, and Luis Zafra.
The Pastoral Council had a planning day in December to
identify and set goals that we would like to accomplish as
your Pastoral Council. Our priorities are centered around
Word, Worship, Service, and Community. Please take a
look at the bulletin board in the hallway to see more details
about our day of planning along with all of the other
projects that we are currently working on and planning for
2015. Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
~Your Pastoral Council
Catholic Education
As Catholics, we value Catholic education. We believe that
parents are the primary educators of the faith for their children.
The Church serves families by providing Catholic Christian
Education in parishes and in Catholic Schools.
We have many children enrolled in both our Spanish and
English Religious Education Program here at Ascension Parish.
We also have a number of parishioners whose children attend
Catholic School. We applaud all of these families for making a
daily effort to live their Baptismal Promise and raise their
children in the Catholic Christian Faith.
As parishioners, we also have made a promise to help support
families in this important effort.
Since Ascension Parish does not have a Catholic School on our
premises, it is our obligation to pay a subsidy for each child who
attends Catholic School. This subsidy offsets the subsidy they
would have received if they attend a parish that does have a
school on their premises.
As Catholics, we are all called to encourage Catholic Faith
Formation, whether it is through our own parish program or
through a Catholic School. We want and need families here at
Ascension Parish. The Crab Feed is our annual fundraiser that
helps Ascension Parish raise money to pay the required Catholic
School Subsidy for each child.
Please be generous and volunteer,
donate items and/or come to the CRAB FEED
and have a great time!
And, as always, keep our families in your prayers.

Putting an End to Racism
Last Sunday we had the first showing in our series.
Several points and questions were raised in the film:
White Like Me”.
Racism does exist.
We haven’t ended racism; we just re-designed it.
How do we confront the truth without being overwhelmed by it?
Be color-conscious. See it and address it. Confront the truth.
Ask tough, honest questions.
Have an awareness of how our history has brought us where we
are. Embrace a multi-racial America.
Join us for another Video and Discussion:

Prayer Circle:
Did you know Ascension Parish has a prayer circle?
As names are given to the parish to pray for, members of the
prayer circle devote time in prayer for these requests.
Would you like to be part of this prayer circle?
Do you have a prayer request?
If so, contact Sharon Grigar or Melanie van der Veen.
Anyone interested in gathering monthly to pray the prayer
requests together, please meet in the church after the
8:30am Morning Mass on the last Thursday of the month.
Rosary:
Did you know a group of parishioners gather on Tuesday
mornings after the 8:30am Mass to pray the rosary together?
You are invited to pray too!
Book of Intentions:
What is that red book that is presented at the altar at Mass
along with communion to our homebound?
It is our Book of Intentions. It is kept near the candles in the
vestibule during the week, and you are encouraged to write a
name or brief intention in this book, so that our community
may pray for the person or intention.

Confirmation
Prayer was the topic of conversation for our confirmation
candidates last Sunday. Sandy discussed the importance of
taking time for prayer, even if only for a few minutes a day.
We reflected on our relationship with Jesus and the
friendship we can build with him through prayer. Our
confirmation retreat is scheduled for Monday, February 2nd
from 5 to 9:30pm at Ascension. Dinner and snacks will be
provided. This is a MANDATORY RETREAT. Please see
Sandy or Kim if you are unable to attend the retreat. Our
next confirmation class will be on Sunday, January 25th from
11:45 to 1:15pm in San Damiano Hall.
High School Youth Group
Our next youth group meeting will be on Sunday, February 1st
from 11:45 to 1:15pm in San Damiano Hall.
This will be a Safe Environment presentation discussing
physical, emotional and behavioral boundaries in regards to
sexual abuse.
Youth Mass
Thanks to all our young people who helped with our January
Youth Mass! It was a wonderful celebration! Please touch
base with Sandy or Kim if you would like to be trained in the
various ministries such as choir, lector, hospitality, altar
server and Eucharistic minister. Our next Youth Mass is on
Sunday, February 8th at 10:30am.
Social Concerns Ministry
Our mission is to inspire and support our parish in living out our
baptismal call, integrating Catholic Social Teaching in our community
and promoting the dignity of life.
The Traveling Crib
Let’s continue to support the “Traveling Crib”. Pregnancy
Support Services is a program of Catholic Charities which
provides pregnant women with free professional counseling,
baby and maternity supplies, priority placement in a residential
maternity home, a match with a “Mom’s Helping Moms”
mentor, and “Between Us” healthy relationship workshops, all
funded completely through donations.
SECOND COLLECTION. Today, we will take up the Catholic
Communication Campaign (CCC). This collection communicates
the Gospel through Catholic social media activities and enriches
our faith through podcasts, television, radio, and print media.
Please be generous in this week’s collection and support this
important work. Remember, half of your donation stays in our
archdiocese to support local communication needs. The CCC is
how we share our experience of faith, worship, and witness.
