O Christ God, You have ascended in Glory, / granting joy to Your disciples by the promise of the Holy Spirit. / Through the blessing they were assured / that You are the Son of God, / the Redeemer of the world!

Vespers for the Feast of the Ascension
This coming Thursday, 29 May 2025, is the Feast of the Ascension, one of the twelve Great Feasts of the liturgical year.
On this day we celebrate Jesus’s Ascension into heaven on the fortieth day after His Resurrection. He led His disciples to the Mount of Olives, blessed them, and asked them to await the Holy Spirit’s promise before ascending.
Please join us on Wednesday, 28 May 2025, at 6pm as we celebrate the Ascension with Vespers for the Feast.
