About Us 


First of all, it’s not about us.

It’s about an encounter with the living God.

For the past 20 years, everything we have done at Ascension has been aimed to help Catholics have that encounter.

From our Bible Studies to our sacramental prep programs, from our QandA style books, to our free online videos, everything has been focused on that encounter.

That is the longing of our hearts, and the longing of every heart until it rests in God.

After helping over 10,000,000 Catholics and 8,000 parishes, and producing more than 50 faith formation programs, we believe that the “secret” to an encounter with God really isn’t so secret … it can all be found in the promise made by Jesus himself:

“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them” —Matthew 18:20

That’s a promise. And it’s a promise from the highest source there is, a promise from the God who never breaks his word.

So we do the best thing any sinner can do in this world; we trust the promise of God; and we base our programs and studies on that promise.

When you run an Ascension program, you are acting on your trust in that promise. You are meeting in a group in the name of Jesus, in the name of understanding his Word, trusting—as we do—in the power of God’s promise that he will truly be present in your midst.

That’s not a light thing to say. But we didn’t say it. God did.

 

HUMILITY, PASSION, INTEGRITY 

Our vision and core values of humility, passion, and integrity are what drive us forward as we seek to share the truth and beauty of the Catholic Faith with as many people as possible. 

Whether you’re just starting out on your faith journey or well along the road, we have something for you because we have been there, too! 

We are so excited to welcome new people into our mission! If you would like to join our team check out our various job opportunities.
