About Parish of the Ascension of the Lord

The Parish of the Ascension of the Lord is the Roman Catholic community serving southern York County, Maine, a parish with St. Christopher’s Church in York, St. Raphael’s Church in Kittery, Our Lady of the Angels Church in South Berwick, and Star of the Sea Summer Mission Chapel in York Beach. Through the Eucharist and the sacraments, they guide people to faith, hope, and love across the towns they call home. That spirit shows up in everyday acts of care. When you buy a ticket for the St. Christopher’s Raffle, you are supporting this welcoming community and its ongoing ministry in southern Maine.

Where Your Entry Helps

Your ticket helps sustain the parish’s four worship sites across southern York County, including St. Christopher’s Church in York, St. Raphael’s Church in Kittery, Our Lady of the Angels Church in South Berwick, and Star of the Sea Summer Mission Chapel in York Beach. Proceeds support the parish’s K through 8 faith formation, youth ministry, and Vacation Bible School, helping create caring communities where people of all abilities can participate. Your support also strengthens the Social Justice and Peace ministry’s outreach, funeral mercy meals, and local food pantries. Every ticket keeps this welcoming community serving Kittery, the Yorks, and the Berwicks with faith, hope, and love.
