2022/2023 Strategic Plan
Why do we exist?
Love God, love others, follow Christ
How do we behave?
Compassion, acceptance, inclusivity, humility, love, honesty and Joy
What do we do?
Behold, I Make All Things New…" We gladly welcome you to our parish, trusting that ... if you are seeking Christ you will find Him here, if sorrowing you will receive comfort, if troubled in spirit you will receive the blessing of peace,
if discouraged you will rejoice in hope, if friendless find companionship and Christian love. That these and other blessings may be your portion is our prayer.
