Mission Statement: Ascension Parish family is a Catholic community united in Christ through prayer and sacraments to strengthen and support one another to live the gospel message. We are unique in that St. Francis' influence encourages us to appreciate Christ's presence in all life and to value that presence above all else.

We see Christ's presence in each other by the love and sharing within our community and the ministry which extends to those whose lives we touch. We challenge ourselves and others to grow in Christ by how we live the good news, especially in our outreach to the needy and alienated and those in need of reconciliation.

Volunteers Needed: Below is a list of ministries that we urge our parishioners to give their time and energy to help with.
