Mission Statement
To proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ by word and example, to teach Catholic Doctrine based on the primary sources of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition under the guidance of the teaching authority of the Church, to support values of Christian morality and to foster the faith formation of all ages as a lifelong journey. We recognize these values must first be lived in the domestic Church of families as the primary faith educators. Our goal is to provide formation and support to parish families as they worship together in a community of faith and to motivate each member to respond to the call of service to Christ and the Church.
