Parish Vision:
We are a community united in faith and sharing a vision of God's kingdom that inspires us to imitate Christ.
We are committed to passing on a life of moral values to future generations, respecting the dignity of every human life,
daring to step out in faith, fiercely holding on to truth and graciously inviting others to join us.
Parish Mission:
Our mission is to invite others to join us in our prayer as the Body of Christ as we teach the Truth of the Gospel to all and
share our time and treasures with others in service and justice. We do this by trying to follow Christ's example.
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

Act of Spiritual Communion
This is an unprecedented time in the world where, although many desire to receive the sacrament of Holy Communion they cannot.
If you cannot physically attend mass, it is possible to make an
Act of Spiritual Communion which is a source of grace. During Spiritual Communion, you are uniting in prayer with Christ’s sacrifice. While unable to attend Mass, make this a part of your daily devotion.
Spiritual Communion Prayer
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
