Welcome to Church of the Ascension— A Roman Catholic Parish

Welcome to the Church of the Ascension in Fountain Hills! We thank God that you have taken interest in our parish community. We believe it is God’s plan that we should come to know you and be part of your life as you also become part of ours.

As a parish family, we help every parishioner to become a disciple of Christ. We are committed to build, strengthen, and nurture the Body of Christ through prayer, service, and outreach to others in faith. Our community welcomes all who come through our doors to worship and seek spiritual nourishment. Working together, we seek to build a strong faith community where all feel welcome and inspired by the Gospel to live God’s mission with faith, hope, and love.

We are so excited that in 2026 we will celebrate quite a milestone for our church: Church of the Ascension Parish has been in service to the community in the pursuit of serving God for 50 years! Please join us as we spend the next few years in renewal and re-commitment to the Lord through our continued faithful fellowship. I invite you to be a part of our growth in the years ahead.

In your journey with God, we will be there to assist and support you in whatever way possible. If you are looking for any spiritual assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me or our parish staff. I look forward to getting to know you personally in the days ahead.

I pray that you may find profound peace, warmth of love, and spiritual nourishment at Ascension. May God bless you and your family.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Fr. Jilson Panakkal

Parochial Administrator
