Whether you live in our area or are just passing through, you are always welcome at the Church of Ascension.

If you're local, we invite you to visit our parish, get to know our community, and consider making Ascension your church home by becoming a registered member of our parish family. If you're visiting Virginia Beach, we'd be honored to have you join us for Mass during your stay.   View our Mass schedule here.

At Ascension, faith comes alive through Word, Worship, Community, and Service. We encourage every parishioner to share their unique gifts by participating in our many ministries, organizations, and outreach opportunities. There are countless ways to grow spiritually and serve others as part of our parish family.

If you're returning to the Catholic Church after time away or interested in becoming Catholic, we're here to walk with you on your faith journey. Our Faith Formation programs provide a welcoming place to ask questions, grow in understanding, and encounter Christ.  Read more here or call our Faith Formation office at 495-1886 x 423.

My prayer is that you will find the Church of Ascension a place where you feel welcome, supported, and at home—a parish family where the love of Christ is experienced every day. If I can be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Once again, welcome. We look forward to meeting you and sharing the journey of faith together.

Your brother in Christ, 

Rev. Nicholaus Bulabuza

We are a thriving, Spirit-filled faith community transforming lives for Christ 🕊
