Off to Camp! 🏕️
Wishing all of our youth an incredible week Ascension Summer Camp !
As they embark on a week filled with faith, friendship, fun, and unforgettable memories, we pray that God blesses their time together and draws them closer to Christ and one another.
We are so proud of our campers, junior leaders, leaders, directors, assistant directors, and staff, and are truly blessed to have so many dedicated volunteers serving our youth. We can’t wait to hear about all of their adventures and experiences when they return home.
Please keep our Ascension campers in your prayers this week as they grow in faith, fellowship, and love.
Ascension will SHINE! 🏕️☦️☀️

Please join us in thanking Cathy Giouzelis for her years of dedicated service as Ascension’s Office Manager.
For many parishioners and visitors, Cathy’s warm smile was the first thing to greet them when they walked through our office doors. We are grateful for the care, kindness, and commitment she brought to her role and for the many ways she has served our parish community over the years.
While Cathy is stepping away from her position in the office, we are thankful that Ascension will continue to benefit from her presence through her involvement in parish ministries and volunteer service.
Thank you, Cathy, for all you have done for Ascension. We wish you God’s blessings in this next chapter and look forward to seeing your smile around the Cathedral for years to come!

Today, we welcomed His Eminence Metropolitan Gerasimos as we celebrate our Cathedral’s Feast Day, the Ascension of Our Lord. Today also marked the Feast Day of Saints Constantine and Helen, two of the most significant figures in the history of Christianity.

Saint Constantine the Great was the first Roman emperor to embrace Christianity and, in 313 AD, granted religious tolerance throughout the empire, allowing Christians to practice their faith freely. His mother, Saint Helen, is revered for her pilgrimage to the Holy Land, where she is credited with discovering the True Cross. Tradition also tells us that the Church of Saints Constantine and Helen in Paros was built under their patronage and still stands today.

Today is also a major nameday celebration for those named Constantine, Constantinos, Helen, Elena, and Eleni. His Eminence presided over Divine Liturgy at Ascension Cathedral alongside visiting Bay Area clergy, followed by a beautiful feast lovingly prepared by our own George Yiannakopoulos.

Χρόνια Πολλά to all celebrating today! ☦️✨

Today, we give a special shoutout to all our Miteres, Nounas, Yiayias, Thias, and honorary mothers! 💐

We honor the countless sacrifices you’ve made, the dreams you’ve carried, the discipline and guidance you’ve given, and the endless love and nurturing you’ve shown throughout the years. As Orthodox Christians, we are especially blessed to look to the Most Holy Theotokos — our first Mother — whose greatest gift to the world was her Son, our Lord and Savior. Through her example, we are reminded daily of the strength, humility, devotion, and unconditional love of a mother.

We see all that you do, even if we don’t always clean up after ourselves or say “I love you” nearly enough. Today, we celebrate you and thank you for everything you are to your families, our parish, and our community ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers of Ascension! We love and appreciate you dearly 🫶🏼
