Our 4 Pillars: The Foundation of Assumption
Communication means always seeking to put forth our message in a way others can understand and be drawn into it.
Communication, in part, provides an opportunity for Evangelization - helping others to encounter Jesus and become an intentional disciple.
This leads to a sense of Community, of family, and the desire to join us on the journey of faith.
This encourages Stewardship, the sharing of time talent and treasure, the sharing of gifts and talents, both natural and supernatural, with our community of faith.
The Planks We Build With
To Know Jesus Christ means encounter him in the scriptures, in prayer, in the liturgy, and in one another.
People are touched and moved in their hearts by the Sunday experience through God’s Word proclaimed, through the music, through the homilies and through hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere, as such we strive to provide an Exceptional Sunday Experience.
An Exceptional Sunday Experience helps people decide, as the apostles did, to follow Jesus, become invested in living the gospel and being active in our parish family - Discipleship.
Discipleship leads us to imitate Jesus and serve each other, this is called Servant Leadership, and through it we not only grow in Christ but we model what that behavior can mean to others.
Our Core Values
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS: We will always speak the truth, respect the opinions and roles of parishioners, and value each person, always maintaining Christian charity in all of our actions.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH: We will seek to increase the understanding of our Catholic faith and expand our spiritual growth by participating in and supporting charitable and spiritual activities, in addition to attending Mass and receiving the sacraments.
STEWARDSHIP: We will become involved in church activities and commit our time, talent and treasures.
INCLUSION: We will be open and inviting by extending ourselves to all by sharing in our parish life; thereby, reaffirming our vision of being actively visible in the community.
