A Community Built On Faith - Ready To Serve

MISSION STATEMENT
Strengthened by God’s presence and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we celebrate the mystery of Christ’s love and sacrifice. Following the example of Jesus Christ we serve the needs of people of all ages within our parish, our communities and the world beyond.

VISION STATEMENTS
We long to be a Catholic Community that celebrates the mystery of Christ’s love through:

• Worship
• The Sacraments
• Faith Formation
• Outreach and Service

 We want to be a welcoming community that actively includes all members and share the Gospel of Christ with those who have fallen away from their faith and all those who are searching for God in any way.  We want to be a community that enjoys and celebrates diverse cultures and gifts. We wish to use these gifts and talents to the fullest extent allowed by our catholic tradition.

We want to be a “spiritually alive” community that is ready to face the difficult issues and challenges in our parish with a radical spirit of faith. We want to be a community that shares the “hopes and joys, the griefs and the anxieties of the people of this age, especially those who are poor or any way afflicted.” (Vat. II, GS, 1)  We want to meet the challenge of creating the structures and facilities that meet the needs of our entire parish more effectively and efficiently.

We look to the future with hope and trust in God’s abiding presence.
