ST. MARY’S MISSION STATEMENT As disciples of Jesus, we commit ourselves to
building community as the body of Christ through the
commission given to us at Baptism and reaffirmed in
the sacraments of initiation and service. By
appreciating, celebrating and sharing the gift of who
we are, and what we have, we can establish a
hospitable community that welcomes and cares for the
needs of those who join us on our journey of faith.
