Please join us soon, either in person or remotely via our live-stream on Facebook and YouTube.

Volunteers Welcome
Ascension is now serving as a host for the "shop" initially set up by St. Chrysostom's to provide necessities for newly arrived migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. You can read more about the program here, about how this ministry fits into the larger efforts of Chicago churches to address the crisis here, and about our parish's involvement here.
