Our Mission Statement
We are a Eucharist-centered community, inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit, nourished and strengthened by the sacramental life of the Church, who welcomes, accepts, and celebrates our unity, as persons created in the image and likeness of God. We proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ through our thoughts, words, and actions with faith, hope, and charity.
As disciples of Jesus Christ, we faithfully follow the teachings of the Church. We respect the human dignity of all persons from conception to natural death.
We are called to evangelize with our time, talent, and treasure, by serving all people, whether those in our Church community or those who have not yet experienced the Catholic faith.
