As missionary disciples filled with the Joy of the Gospel,
our parish proclaims an ongoing encounter
with Jesus Christ through
Word, community, Sacrament, and loving service.
“We are all sinners loved by God.”
“The parish is the presence of the Church in a given territory, an environment for hearing God’s word, for growth in the Christian life, for dialogue, proclamation, charitable outreach, worship and celebration. In all its activities the parish encourages and trains its members to be evangelizers. It is a community of communities, a sanctuary where the thirsty come to drink in the midst of their journey, and a centre of constant missionary outreach.”
~ The Joy of the Gospel, Paragraph 28
