In June of 1955, Father Arnold F. Witzman receives a call from Archbishop Karl J. Alter to move from Cincinnati to Dayton to organize a new parish—a parish which came to be known as The Church of the Ascension. A month later, the first Mass was offered in the Greenmont Community Center. First Sunday attendance (for three Masses) was 1090, with 131 families registered. That was the beginning.
