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
