Our goal as a parish is to encourage and nurture the basic unit of our Holy Church - a loving family. We offer our members the opportunity to grow spiritually, intellectually, and socially through participation in our Parish life. We are all beloved in God's sight.

Create an environment in which the parish is brought closer to God.

Develop a strong faith life through the study of the Scriptures, Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the Sacraments with The Eucharist being the center of parish Christian Life.

Involves forming the hearts and attitudes to be open to God.

Share the Good News of the gospels with all people. By living a deeper faith life, we can encourage others to have a sincere commitment that uses their talents for God's greater glory.

Work for justice so that peace might reign in our parish and community.

Identify our parish social and physical needs - promote the right to life, eliminate the stain of racism, feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and welcome the disabled by facilitating their full participation.

With this awareness, be willing to spend time to address these needs at the parish level and in the community in a positive way.
