It has a Latin cross floor plan and a tower, with pointed arches and decorative stonework. Inside, painted walls and ornamental ceiling patterns cover the sanctuary.

Construction took place from 1912 to 1913, establishing this structure during the early 20th century. The National Register of Historic Places recognized it in 1983 for its architectural design and historical importance to the area.

The parish takes its name from the Ascension of Christ, and a large painting of that scene fills the ceiling above the altar. The walls are painted to resemble marble, and ornamental friezes run along the ceiling. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

The church sits along a rural road and offers nearby parking for visitors who want to step inside. Weekday visits tend to be quieter, allowing more time to examine the architectural details and interior decorations at a relaxed pace.

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, the same year it turned seventy-one. Its rural setting on FM 957 in Moravia, Lavaca County, means the building is seen from the road rather than from a town square.
