NEW Parish Mission Statement
(affirmed by Parish Pastoral Council 7/13/21)
We are courageous in empowering change, compassionate in valuing people, and Catholic in the way we seek to go in love as Jesus does.
Come as you are. All are welcome.
THANK YOU ALL for your help in developing this beautifully collaborated statement for our parish describing Who We Are.
Great progress has been made, but We Are Not Done Yet! This past week, the SPC members have come up with the following 3 options for our parish Vision Statement - Who We Aspire to Become. What do you think?
OPTION 1: To attract all to follow the Lord’s path through service and evangelization.
OPTION 2: To be a welcoming community of courageous, compassionate people who aim to model the way of the Lord through service and evangelization.
OPTION 3: To build belonging and cultivate community through following the way of Jesus.
YOUR OPINION COUNTS: Choose your favorite Vision Statement option or submit your proposed version. Thanks for Your Feedback!!

KIDS' CORNER
REINSTATING OBLIGATION TO ATTEND MASS
Beginning August 15th, 2021, each Catholic Bishop in Pennsylvania will reinstate the obligation to attend Mass in person on Sundays and Holy Days.
To address the varying comfort levels parishioners have to returning to Mass in-person, Fr Grogan will be hosting a Community Conversation via Zoom. We are all excited to Come Back to the House. Let's make sure everyone feels supported, heard, respected and safe in the process. Stay tuned for specific date and time.
Come Back to the House: Community Conversation via Zoom, hosted by Fr Grogan, so we can address any concerns or questions together. Do you plan to attend?
