Loving Christ, Loving Others

Our parish mission is: 

​To proclaim the Gospel of Christ to our local community in word, deed, and truth.

"You, Holy Father, are King of heaven and earth.
You are Three and One, Lord God, all Good.
You are Good, all Good, supreme Good, Lord God, living and true...
You are our eternal life, Great and Wonderful Lord,
God Almighty, Merciful Savior.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: 
where there is hatred, let me sow love; 
where there is injury, pardon; 
where there is doubt, faith; 
where there is despair, hope; 
where there is darkness, light; 
where there is sadness, joy."
- St. Francis of Assisi
