In my neck of the woods, today is simply the Thursday of the 6th week of Easter; the Ascension waits for Sunday

 

Easter: May 9th

Thursday of the Sixth Week of Easter or Ascension Thursday


In the United States, the ecclesiastical provinces of Boston, Hartford, New York, Newark, Omaha, and Philadelphia have retained the celebration of the Solemnity of the Ascension on the proper Thursday while all other provinces have transferred this solemnity to the Seventh Sunday of Easter, May 12.
