Parish Mission Statement

 

Our Parish seeks to live as a family – supporting one another, open to all comers, and building a community where each person feels wanted and cared for. To make this happen, we will work to grow in holiness through prayer and service and we will try to show God’s love in our daily lives. Ceremonies available on the parish webcam.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

Catechism as the “sure norm for the teaching of the faith”.

Catechesis makes the message contemporary by presenting it to a particular time.
It is both biblical and liturgical, a proclamation, that fosters the internal unity of the church.
It allows the laity’s faith to grow and mature into responsible participation in the church’s life.
It offers the Gospel message to all who wish to acquaint themselves with what the Church teaches and tries to live.
