OUR MISSION

We are a welcoming, evangelizing, worshiping parish community, encouraging all to step into a deeper spiritual encounter and loving experience with our Lord Jesus Christ. We pray for peace, love, truth, and social justice
through active stewardship – notably through our advocate – Mother Mary. We proclaim the promise of the Kingdom of God and the grace – filled nourishment that comes when our humanness becomes one with God’s Divinity in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
