There is no mention of the change in the bulletin and the Thursday schedule is that of Holy Day (same as Sunday): https://smac.edu/sites/sspx/files/media/bulletin_05_26_2019.pdf

The pastor of Assumption Church in Walton, KY, Father Muscha, announced last year that Ascension Thursday is no longer  a holyday of obligation,  BUT he said the day would still be celebrated with the same solemnity as always.

I remembered this subject being discussed last year here in Cath Info. It was titled: "Is the obligation to attend Mass on Ascension Thursday binding according to SSPX?" dated May 11, 2018. it appears on either page 28 or 29.  It contains interesting comments, but unfortunately it went some other direction. It was started after Father Thomas Asher, SSPX  wrote about the subject. For anyone who would like to review what was said back then...

The Ascension is still a Holyday of obligation on Thursday in the Ukrainian Catholic church. The Eastern Churches can transfer holy days to a Sunday, but to the best of my knowledge, even the Maronites have Ascension as a holyday of obligation on Thursday, and they are the most likely to follow modern Roman practice.
