Our Creed and Mission Statement
Holy Year of Renewal and Evangelization

OUR CREED

We are “Stewards of our Community of Faith” coming from multi-ethnic traditions. As Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice, and return them with increase to the Lord. (U.S. Bishops’ Statement on Stewardship)
We, in this endeavor and in our journey as Christ’s body, carry the precept:

“BRING THE FAITH HOME”

EACH ONE TEACH ONE, a form of evangelization which leads us to SMALL FAITH COMMUNITIES, becoming priests, prophets and kings. As a way of life… our creed is a celebration, and not an obligation.

Through our Pastoral Zones, we are energized, revitalized and revived by our existing intentional communities and parish ministries...and so we move FORWARD...

We Celebrate Our Faith

MISSION STATEMENT

As a welcoming community, we celebrate our life, conscious of our multi-ethnic traditions, avowing unity with Christ in our multi-cultural differences.

We usher in our lives (being evangelized) and proclaim (as evangelizers) THE REIGN OF God as Priests, Prophets and Kings. In so doing, we celebrate our discipleship in Christ Jesus.

We extol ‘being Church’ through the formation of Small Faith Communities as a way of life in being priests, prophets and kings; thus, we become economically stable and self-reliant as we give special attention and solicitude to our youth and the needy.
