A Note From Our Pastor

We are blessed to have such a loving and giving parish family. Church of the Ascension is almost 50 years old and continues to Proclaim the Word of God, Celebrate the Eucharist, and Serve the Local Community. As we approach our 50th anniversary, let us continue "Growing Into Our Future" by strengthening the Ministry, Maintenance, and Mission of our parish. Please join me in supporting this campaign.

As I always say, "Kuyumba Halumo," which means We Walk Together.

~ Fr. Daniel J. Malingumu

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers (click here)


How do I pledge?  And what is the pledge redemption time frame?

Each parishioner/family will receive a packet containing campaign information and a pledge card.  We ask that you fill out that card and return it to the parish office. The campaign pledge period is up to 5 years.  Payments can be made monthly, quarterly, yearly, or one time -- whatever is best for you.

The Growing Into Our Future Committee is offering several Town Hall meetings, and will also hand out packets two weekends (one in May and one in June) after Masses. We look forward to answering any questions you may have at these different events.
