While it is not the only activity of our church, "The liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the font from which all the Church's power flows."

- Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy

In the Eucharistic liturgy we discover our identity as a people empowered by the Holy Spirit to be the body of Christ in the world. We believe in the need to be a reconciling community - welcoming all, bridging our differences and forgiving imperfection. Believing that the experience of Church is found primarily in our bonding with one another, we are dedicated to the sharing of our life and faith in the light of God's Word.

Ascension is led by our pastor and group of lay people and a deacon, together called the . Two important groups with whom we consult are Parish Pastoral Council and the Finance Council.

The Pastoral Council is made up of three of the full-time members of the Core Team and parishioners from a variety of aspects of parish life who have discerned their place in this ministry.

The is made up of eight to twelve people, selected by the Pastor, to monitor the parish financial situation, oversee the budgeting, and suggest financial strategies for the parish.

Formed by the Gospel, we seek to be a voice for justice, a hand outstretched in compassion. We seek to be a people founded on Christ's mandate to serve, in our own gathering, in our neighborhood and beyond. Faithfully, we seek to pass our faith on to our children and to all who will receive it. Deeply rooted in Catholic Tradition and reliant upon God's Spirit, we seek to move with the church as it grows into the twenty-first century , giving flesh to the gospel in our worship and in our lives.

Ascension’s ministries are organized into six categories:

"The purpose of the sacraments is to make people holy, to build up the Body of Christ, and finally to give worship to God."

- Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy

The Catholic Church's ritual is rooted in these seven sacraments; the sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist; the sacraments of healing: Reconciliation (confession) and Anointing of the Sick; the sacraments of commitment: Matrimony and Holy Orders.
