Ascension Press is a faith-formation apostolate and company. Our mission is to provide Catholic parishes, schools, organizations, and individuals with effective and engaging Catholic study programs, books, and other resources.

Always working within the heart and mind of the Church, Ascension’s materials are solidly Catholic while at the same time being accessible to the average person in the pew. We are a group of motivated lay-Catholics who have taken up the call of the New Evangelization with our whole hearts. We have built a strong reputation for providing the highest level of parish support and customer service, and each day we work one-on-one with priests, deacons, religious educators, teachers, and youth ministers to engage and nurture Catholics at all levels of their faith journey.

We consider ourselves blessed to do this work, and pray that God will continue to use us to bring His message to the world for many years to come.
