    MISSION OF CHRIST
    “I came that they may have life and have it more abundantly.”
    John 10:10

    MISSION OF THE CHURCH
    “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.  And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
    Matthew 28:19-20

    VISION
    We are a Eucharistic community united to continue the mission and message of Jesus
     

    PURPOSE
    Encountering, Becoming and Sharing the Peace of Christ

    VALUES

    • Rooted in Christ and the Catholic Church
    Definition: We will live as disciples of Christ in the fullness of the Catholic faith.
    1. Active celebration of the Sunday Mass and the Sacraments
    2. An active personal prayer life
    3. Ongoing formation in the faith
     
    • Loving Service
    Definition: We will be known for our unbelievable compassion.
    1. Engage in the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy
    2. Meet the needs of the vulnerable in our community
    3. Actively support diocesan, national, and global ministries
     
    • Welcoming
    Definition: We will see Christ in others and welcome them, respect them and value them.
    1. Ensure new members are welcomed 
    2. Celebrate the diversity of our parish
    3. Advocate for the marginalized
  • The Priorities and Goals established by the Pax Christi Pastoral Council are as follows: 

    1. Continue to strengthen how we share the faith with people of all ages to foster spiritual growth in an increased appreciation of the sacraments, better understanding of Scripture, and deepening lives of prayer. 
    2. Support our Parish Family by strengthening the Sunday experience, providing opportunities to reflect on how we encounter the living Christ, and assisting those responsible as primary educators of our children in the ways of faith.
    3. Nurture opportunities for our parishioners to do works of mercy and justice, live as witnesses of the Gospel and engage the people of our neighborhood and civic community.
