Our shared Catholic faith is enlivened by the core values we hold:
WELCOME: Jesus engaged everyone from the marginalized to the mainstream. All were and all are welcome.
As a welcoming community, we strive to be a place where all are accepted in Christ, wherever they are in their journey and pilgrimage of faith.
Our parish community endeavors to embody Christian joy and goodness. We celebrate our lives with various social events that support and renew us as community.
LOVE: Jesus inspires and instructs us to love everyone. Yes, everyone – people of every race, language, and way of life.
In our willingness to embody Christ, we minister with love and compassion to those who suffer physically, emotionally and spiritually.
We gather in communion and worship as one in a spirit of charity and acceptance.
We stand in solidarity with the poor through our almsgiving and outreach. By doing so, we are committed to the Gospel’s call for peace and justice.
Serve: Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, served his friends, healed, counseled, suffered and enjoyed humankind. He calls us to do the same.
We nurture and encourage our faith in the religious formation of our children and youth. As Catholic adults, we share a commitment to grow in our faith, especially through continued learning and servant leadership.
We cultivate a spirituality of Stewardship, developing these ideals through prayer, education and example.
