by uniting, building and living the Gospel of love
and forgiveness for all people.
Vision:
In union with the Universal Church,
we will be committed to:

Evangelization:
As a Parish, proclaim the Good News of the Gospel. By prayer and example, educate and renew the faith of all in our community.

Worship:
As a Parish, guide and maintain a worshipping community in the celebration of the Sacraments. Through liturgical prayer, joyfully celebrate the Eucharist.

Family:
As a Parish, nourish the health and integrity of all families in their personal worship. Support Catholic education.

Community:
As a Parish, celebrate our diversity while recognizing our oneness. Defend the sanctity of life. Be an example of peaceful existence in awareness of the needs of our community. Always be a welcoming home in the love in Jesus Christ.

For this, we seek the blessing of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the kind assistance of our Blessed Mother, the help of Saint Barnabas and all the Saints.
