Dear Parishioners and Friends of Ascension, Ascension Parish has been asked to be a pilot-parish for a new marriage program. “Witness to Love” is a virtues-based, Catechumenate model of marriage renewal and preparation that integrates modern principles of psychology and the virtues to help couples preparing for marriage facilitate an authentic dialogue about their relationship. What makes Witness to Love unique is that the engaged couple chooses their own mentor couple. This is a couple they both admire and see as a source of faith formation. This mentor couple gives them a concrete connection and integration into the parish. Through the sharing of the mentor couple’s own marriage journey, the engaged couple inherits a “lifeline” of support in their commitment to Jesus and His Church. In the most recent Synod, there was a call for a Marriage Catechumenate to address the reality of isolation and lack of parish involvement that is leading to so many divorces of today’s young couples. Witness to Love addresses this urgent pastoral issue so that engaged couples experience the Church not as strangers, but as a committed and life-giving family of faith. Mentors who meet the basic requirements of this model become an essential part of the catechumenate team as the “trusted” means of communicating what must be revealed about marriage through Jesus to the engaged couple. It is within the trusted relationship between the mentors and the engaged that the marriage remains strong, is formed from love, is strengthened by good catechesis, and is nourished by prayers and a sacramental life. Deep conversations, encounters with Christ, and renewal are available consistently for both the mentors and engaged couple. If any married couple may be interested in being part of this, please let me know. Peace, Fr. Kearney

PASTOR’S LETTER NOTAS DEL PASTOR

Queridos Feligreses y Amigos de la Ascensión, A la Parroquia de la Ascensión se le ha pedido que sea una parroquia de prueba para un programa nuevo de matrimonio. “Testigo al amor” es un modelo catecúmeno de renovación y preparación de matrimonio basado en virtudes que integra principios modernos de psicología y las virtudes para ayudar parejas preparándose para el matrimonio a facilitar un auténtico diálogo acerca de su relación. Lo que hace “Testigos al amor” único es que la pareja comprometida escoge su propia pareja-guía. Esta es una pareja que los dos admiran y ven como una fuente de formación de fe. Esta pareja-guía les da una conexión concreta e íntegra a la parroquia. A través del compartir de la experiencia de vida matrimonial de la propia pareja-guía, la pareja comprometida hereda una “mano amiga” de apoyo en su compromiso con Jesús y con su iglesia. En el último sínodo, hubo un llamado para que un catecumenado de matrimonio aborde la realidad del aislamiento y falta de participación de parte de las parroquias que está llevando a tantas parejas jóvenes de hoy día al divorcio. “Testigo al amor” atiende este urgente asunto pastoral para que parejas comprometidas experimenten a la iglesia no como extraños sino como una familia de fe comprometida y que da vida. Las parejas-guías que cumplen con los requisitos básicos de este modelo se convierten en una parte esencial del equipo catecúmeno como la manera “confiada” de comunicar lo que debe ser revelado acera del matrimonio a través de Jesús a la pareja comprometida. Es a través de la relación de confianza entre la pareja-guía y la pareja comprometida que el matrimonio permanece fuerte, es formado en el amor, es fortalecido por buena catequesis y es alimentado con oraciones y vida sacramental. Profundas conversaciones, encuentros con Cristo y la renovación están disponibles constantemente tanto para las parejas-guías como para la pareja comprometida. Si alguna pareja casada está interesada en ser parte de esto, por favor, déjemelo saber. Paz, Padre Kearney

The Gospel this Sunday speaks of seeds sometimes

doomed to die, but meant to flourish with new life.

Seeds are both real and symbolic. This Sunday offers

both. On July 16th, 1945, the U.S. successfully tested the

first nuclear bomb which planted the seeds of the

atomic age with its capacity for massive death and de-

struction. Sacrilegiously named Trinity, our Church has

consistently opposed nuclear weapons from their con-

ception to today. Just this past March, Pope Francis

addressed a letter to the UN stating: “the international

community is called upon to adopt forward-looking

strategies to promote the goal of peace and stability

and to avoid short-sighted approaches to the problems

surrounding national and international security. In this

context, the ultimate goal of the total elimination of

nuclear weapons becomes both a challenge and a moral

and humanitarian imperative.”

On Sunday, August 6th, Pax Christi Metro New York

will hold its annual Hiroshima/Nagasaki Memorial dedi-

cated to the abolition of nuclear weapons. This year we

are privileged to have Jonathan Granoff as our speaker.

Mr. Granoff is president of the Global Security Insti-

tute, an attorney, author, and international advocate

emphasizing the legal, ethical and spiritual dimensions

of human development and security, with a specific

focus on advancing the rule of law to address the

threats posed by nuclear weapons. In addition to Mr.

Granoff’s presentation, we’ll pray and vigil in commem-

oration of the 72nd anniversary of the bombings of

Hiroshima and Nagasaki. All will take place beginning

at 2:30 PM at 20 Washington Square North, Manhat-

tan. Please join us.

The Archdiocesan Adult Confir-mation Program is designed for practicing adult (18+) Catholics

seeking the sacrament of Confir-mation, who have been baptized,

have received their first Holy Communion, and have been edu-

cated in the Catholic faith through Catholic Schools or reli-gious education programs. The

Archdiocesan Adult Confirmation Program will present an overview of the essentials of the Catholic Faith, focusing on immediate catechesis for the reception of the sacra-ment of Confirmation. This is a program of adult faith

formation that combines presentations, group discussion, reflection and prayer. The sessions will cover Sacred

Scripture and Tradition, the Creed, prayer and spirituali-ty, the Church, Catholic social teaching and meaning of

the sacrament of Confirmation. + This Program is not for adults who are unbaptized, or baptized but uncatechized (not practicing Catholics); who would benefit from partic-ipation in their parish’s RCIA process. Pastor’s permission

is required to participate in this program.
