Who We Are

Be a community of faith living the love poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.
To proclaim the good news of salvation announced through Jesus Christ and confided to the Church.
To celebrate in liturgy, especially in Eucharist, the saving act of God in Christ.
To strengthen our allegiance to the Gospel and deepen our understanding of it.
To serve all our brothers and sisters as Jesus taught us.
