Summer Youth Events
Beloved Ascension Community,
We’re excited to announce a series of in-person youth and family activities that will be offered throughout the summer in conjunction with the Metropolis of San Francisco and our sister Bay Area parishes.
The series will kick off with a GOYA event at Ascension!
We look forward to seeing you all in-person this summer and enjoying fellowship with one another!
