Ascension

In 2006, the Catholic Bishops of WI voted to transfer the Solemnity of the Lord’s Ascension from Thursday of the 6 th Week of Easter to the 7 th Sunday of Easter. This was intended to allow a greater number of people to celebrate the feast with due solemnity in the context of the Mass. The Ascension of the Lord is observed on Sunday, June 2. It may not be celebrated on any other day.
