Our Mission Statement We are a Roman Catholic Community celebrating a living faith in the living God. We believe the Eucharist is the source and summit of our vibrant, prayerful worship. Driven by a belief in the dignity of the human person, we reach out to serve all, to educate the truths of Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium of the Church, and to foster the sacramental life of the faithful. Inspired by our patroness, we strive to live the greatest of all virtues—charity. We care for the poor, children and elderly, those cast as exiles and those who mourn. We encourage stewardship through freely giving of our time, talent, and treasure. With open doors and open hearts, we invite everyone to join us on a faith-filled journey toward salvation.

Closing Prayer Closing Prayer Almighty Ever-living God, We have received our mission for salvation in our parish, our community, and our world. Renew each one of us. We commend, this day, every member of our family to the inspirations of your Holy Spirit. Help us to walk in the way of salvation promised by your Son and lived by your Church. Father, we ask the same for our parish. Bless, too, every member of this family. May we experience renewed faith, deepened love, and strengthened hope. We pray that you may be glorified by the lives we live as we bear the name of your Son and pray through him. Amen
