Our Parish Family
Parish Mission Statement: Over the next few weeks we will be reflecting on our mission as a parish as stated in the new Mission Statement chosen by majority last year. Please see the front of the bulletin for the entire statement. Since the Parish Planning Day was cancelled due to lack of attendance, there will be an opportunity in a few weeks to offer input on how we are living out this mission and where we can improve as a parish family. More details to come.
