Episcopal Church of the Ascension

About this church

Episcopal Church of the Ascension in Wakefield, Rhode Island, is an Episcopal parish at 370 Main Street, at the corner of Kenyon Avenue. Holy Eucharist Rite II is offered twice each weekend: Saturday at 5 p.m. with no music, and Sunday at 10 a.m. as a choral service. The parish describes itself as a community of Christian people who gather to celebrate the grace of God through worship, learning, sharing, and caring, and who try to respond to the needs of the parish, the local community, and the world.

A Sunday Supper is listed for 5 p.m. on Sundays. The parish office keeps hours Wednesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon, and clergy are available by appointment, so visitors with questions can call (401) 783-2911 before coming. The congregation traces its beginnings to a meeting in 1839 and a wood-framed church consecrated in 1840 about half a mile from the current location. The present building was consecrated in 1883, and its exterior is largely unchanged apart from the bell tower, an enclosed entrance, and an access ramp. Service and office times can change, so confirm them on the church website or by phone before visiting.
