A note on the Ascension

One of our parishioners asked about the Mass times for Thursday, presuming the Solemnity of the Ascension would be celebrated Thursday.

How I wish that it were so! Alas, the Bishops of the Province of Illinois have transferred the Solemnity of the Ascension from the Thursday to the nearest Sunday.

Hence, the Mass and readings of the Seventh Sunday of Easter will be replaced with the Mass and readings for the Ascension. The usual weekend Masses will be celebrated.
