Encounter Christ. Grow in Faith. Live the Gospel.
At the heart of our parish renewal is a desire for people to personally encounter Christ and grow in faith.
Forming disciples means creating opportunities for all people to have a personal encounter with Jesus Christ, then being prepared to share our faith and encouragement with them as we accompany them on their faith journey.
Foster preparation, presence and reverence
Create space for silence, encounter and relationship with Christ
Connect worship to daily life and mission
We arrive prayerfully prepared and help others do the same (as leaders, ministries and parishioners).
We respect moments of silence, prayer and reverence in the Eucharist
and in our gatherings.
We speak, sing and serve in ways that point people to Christ—not to ourselves or our preferences.
We invite reflection, response, encounter and conversion.
We help people connect Sunday worship to their relationship with Christ and to live the Gospel beyond Mass; at home, work, school and community.
We offer formation and compassionate encouragement without pressure, shame or guilt.
We treat discipleship as a journey and make room for questions, doubts and growth.
