How do children grow into caring, responsible adults in a self-centered, often violent world?

MISSION STATEMENT OF ST. MARY'S PARISH

WE ARE CALLED TO BE A FAITH COMMUNITY of equal, co-responsible, interdependent persons who ponder the Word continuously and seek ever maturing personal commitment to Jesus as Lord; who cultivate a deep sense of belonging and hospitality both by what we do and by how we do it; who revere the rich diversity of ministries in our midst; who consistently seek and eagerly offer reconciliation and healing; who celebrate Liturgy as the genuine summit and source of our shared life.

WE ARE SENT TO BE SERVANTS OF THE KINGDOM by reading our own lived experience and the "signs of the times" of our world in light of the Gospel; by proclaiming the call of the Gospel to today's world, both in season and out; by working for Gospel justice and peace by the choices we make and the ways we live; by sharing our gifts in service to the poor, the powerless and the alienated; by remaining attentive to the real needs of people that we may truly serve
