Monthly retreat

Gather, pray, and grow in faith on the last Wednesday of every month.

The Monthly Parish Retreat at Ascension Catholic Parish is an opportunity for parishioners to step away from the busyness of the week and spend intentional time with the Lord. Each month, we meet after the 6 pm Mass for a guided reflection featuring a video presentation by Fr. John Bartunek. These sessions offer a simple and meaningful way to deepen your prayer life and reflect on important themes of the liturgical year.
