Why is the Ascension of Jesus celebrated in the Catholic Church? In this episode of Saints in the Parish Podcast, we discuss the Ascension, which the Catholic Church celebrated on Sunday. This Solemnity is vitally important for the work of Christ and the Church. In the Ascension of Jesus, we are given a foretaste of what we will be like in Heaven. It is celebrated because in the Ascension, Christ's work of salvation can continue on Earth in His presence through the Eucharist and in the Body of Christ, the Church.God Bless!Saints in the Parish Podcast is for those parishioners who are in the pews.
