Welcome! Pax et bonum – Peace and all good.

Whether you take a “virtual tour” of our parish on the web, or join us for worship, you will notice that our faith community offers many opportunities to share your time, talent and treasure with others. Our mission statement emphasizes this spirituality of stewardship that calls us to be the Body of Christ in the world around us, and to serve the poor who were so dear to the heart of our patron, Francis of Assisi.

Throughout the past year, we have celebrated
"Growing in Faith Together ... Sacramentally".
  As a community, we have explored the sacraments with bible studies, book clubs, soup suppers and retreats.  We have had special guests come share their deeper understandings of the sacraments with us.  We have journeyed towards Baptism, Confirmation and First Eucharist ... together.  We have celebrated the sacraments of Penance, Anointing of the Sick and Marriages.  Now in this Easter Season, we are sprinkled with water at our Sunday liturgies to remind us of our baptismal call.
  We hope that your growing understanding of our gathered celebrations here connect our shared life in Christ with the graced moments in your life.  Please click here to see a detailed year in review, as we grew in faith ... Sacramentally.

Strategic Initiatives 2008-2011
Every three years, the Pastoral Council undertakes a Strategic Initiatives process.  Out of this process, the Strategic Initiatives are generated and shared with the staff and parish.  These initiatives focus and guide the direction of the parish in terms of setting and acting upon goals and priorities for our community.  Recently, our Pastoral Council hosted a Leadership Summit for ministry leaders, leadership councils and staff.  The council took this opportunity to review our last strategic plan and to introduce the 2008-2011 Strategic Initiatives.  You can view the complete document, including the success of our past 3-year plan, here.
