The mission of our parish
is to be a community that believes
and proclaims the powerful and loving
presence of Jesus Christ
and extends His love to others.
We are called and sent to do this
through worship, word and work—celebrating God’s love;
fostering growth in God’s love
through Christian formation;
 and extending God’s love
through service.
