What visitors say about Ascension

Community Insights

The church is described as beautiful, featuring a blue ceiling, white arches, and gold filigree, and is handicap accessible.

The community is very welcoming and helpful, often described as feeling like a family, with diverse parishioners and a strong sense of involvement.

The priest is wonderful, kind, intentional, and attentive to parishioners' lives, leading reverent and deeply prayerful Masses with carefully studied Scripture and church teaching in his preaching.

There's a great children's choir, and the church offers regular adoration and confession, along with a lovely adjoining perpetual adoration chapel.

Parking is good, and there's a separate events building, an event hall and field, and plenty of meeting places.

The church offers various active service groups, prayer and study groups for both men and women, religious education, youth groups, VBS, and frequent parish-wide potlucks with spiritual talks.
