Mission Integration supports our shared mission of serving all persons with special attention to those who are vulnerable and experiencing poverty. The resources here are to support you as you explore and embody our Mission.

Ministry Formation develops communities of associates and leaders grounded in their own identities and guided by Ascension’s identity as a ministry of the Catholic Church. At its most basic level, formation invites associates and leaders to reflect on identity – personal, professional, communal and organizational – in community over time.
