There are several families who cannot celebrate Mothers Day together because some family member is being detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Tacoma. They are awaiting deportation or just a hearing about their status and, often, for minor offenses. Families and friends will have a celebration outside the detention facility there. If you are interested in showing solidarity with divided families, join some members of the parish who will spend two hours at the detention facility on Saturday, May 10th, the day before Mothers Day. We will leave in carpools from Ascension Catholic Church parking lot, 743 SE 72nd at 9:00 AM and will return there by 5:00 PM. Ask Ann Cassin or Dan Brown for more info.
Please fill out a Mass Intention Form (located in the foyer of the Church) if you would like a Mass celebrated for you, for an anniversary of death, birthday or marriage, or some other special event. You can also call the office.
