Mission

Called by God through Baptism, we identify ourselves as a kaleidoscope of cultures and ages sharing a common identity in Christ. By sharing our social, occupational, cultural and spiritual experiences, we are bonded together as a community. Poised for rebirth, we seek to maintain our stability as a Christ-centered community within the larger urban setting.

We seek to be witnesses of Christ's love by inviting our brothers and sisters to share our prophetic role to be a beacon of light and a sign of hope to those in need. We show our love for Christ through our love for each other.

We seek people committed to building our community and who are accountable to one another in our worship, our service, our education, and our formation. We seek those who will embrace honest stewardship of the talents and gifts given to us by God. Our task is to be a vibrant Catholic Christian community with a future that lifts the hearts and minds of people to God.

We have a mission to believe mightily, hope joyfully, and love divinely.
