Parish Background

Holy Ascension Mission was formally established in March, 2001, with the blessing of His Eminence, Archbishop Dmitri, as a mission parish of the Southern Diocese of the OCA.  The congregation of about 55 people is evenly divided between “cradle Orthodox” and “converts.”

With the Sunday of Orthodoxy 2008, we have moved into our new temple.  Glory to God for all things!

All are welcome.  All services in English.
