Mission of our Parish

Formed in the spirit of our patron, we, the Roman Catholic faith community of Blessed John XXIII, place our trust in God and seek to: 

  • Proclaim God's Word through spirit-filled liturgies, life-long faith formation and service to our neighbor; 
  • form a Christ-like community by sharing our gifts with each other, striving to grow in unity and being welcoming to all; 
  • support families as they strive to model Catholic values and morals for the next generation; 
  • empower the growth of the Church by calling forth leaders, both ordained and lay, from our midst. 

With God's love and grace, and for His glory, we pledge ourselves to this mission.
