Mission Statement

We, the Catholic community of Ascension Parish, are drawn together by our love of Christ as the center of our individual lives, families, community and ministry. We commit ourselves to being a praying, teaching, caring, serving sign of God’s presence to each other and to the world around us. We cooperate in building the kingdom of God by:

  • Living our Catholic faith and nurturing its growth;
  • Extending a spirit of welcome and belonging in our prayer, liturgy, sacrament, and mission;
  • Accepting and cherishing the dignity of each person;
  • Working in partnership with individuals, churches, and communities in service to others.
