Giving Boxes for Heifer International

During Lent, children and youth are encouraged to pick up a collection box and to put money in it for Heifer International. They will return the boxes on Easter.

Heifer International partners with smallholder farmers – especially women farmers – to improve their families’ food security and increase their incomes. They offer tools, training and resources that help farmers work together to build profitable, sustainable businesses with strong market linkages. To learn more, click here.

Confirmation  

Ascension offers a confirmation program for teenagers, age 15 and up, every other year. Over the last three years, Ascension has formed two of the largest confirmation classes in the Diocese of Colorado, with nine students in 2018 and 12 in 2016. In 2016 to mark the end of their confirmation experience, the teens walked the last 65 miles of the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Please contact Sarah Dougherty for more information about this program.
