OUR MISSION

To love God deeply; love our neighbor as ourselves; and to spread the Gospel.

 The first of all God’s commandments is “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” (Mark 12:29) To love God in this way is to love deeply.

“You shall love your neighbor as yourself” is the second commandment. (Mark 12:31) This means their well-being is as high a priority as our own. Jesus makes clear our love must extend to every person without limit. “But to you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” (Luke 6:27-28)

The Gospel is the “good news” of God’s mercy and love revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the source of all saving truth and moral discipline. Christ’s work of redemption accomplished principally by his Passion, death, Resurrection, and glorious Ascension stands at the center of the Good News. The parish exists to carry forward the work of His Church to proclaim the Gospel to the world.

The most important thing we can contribute to our society is to become a Christ centered community.  Speaking of and sharing the love of Jesus does so much to transform our world. It is a way of life that we are obliged to share with others. We are invited daily to transform our lives by sharing our talents, service, and gratitude for God's many blessings.
