OUR MISSION

  We are a Catholic community of disciples of Jesus Christ called to holiness and nourished by Word and Sacrament. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we give witness to the presence of the kingdom of God in ourselves, our families, our parish, the local community, and the world.

  Under the guidance of our bishop, pastor, and the parish council, we seek to accomplish our mission through these ministries: liturgy and worship, faith formation, religious education, pastoral care, evangelization, social justice, wellness, stewardship, the fostering of community life, ecumenism, and joyfully living and celebrating the third millennium of Christianity.
