It is through our mutual work with each other and the community that we fulfill our mission and vision by:

Fulfilling our parish hospitality of "All Are Welcome" through programs that respond to the needs of those in search of a faith home and especially those seeking to reconnect with their Roman Catholic Faith.
-
Fulfill the message in St. James's epistle by establishing connections for the people of the parish to become involved in works of social service and social justice.
-
Enabling the spiritual journey of each parishioner through the celebration of meaningful liturgical prayer, the creation or opportunities for prayer, and the availability of spiritual guidance.
