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.
