Ascent Conference and Pathfinder Parish Leader Fellowship

“The parish is the privileged place where the faithful concretely experience the Church …the parish needs to be constantly renewed…”
Ecclesia in America, 41

The Office of Mission Advancement for the Diocese of Phoenix is committed to serving pastors, priests, staff and lay leaders by providing tools to help build and strengthen relationships, boldly grow engagement and connect people to the mission of the Church.
The goal of the Ascent Conference is to educate and inspire leaders in new and effective practices of ministering to the people of God.
It also is a day for leaders to be refreshed and rejuvenated in their ministries.
