Fr  Mark at Ambo_sm

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.

 Parish Strategic Initiatives
“The people without a vision will perish”… (Proverbs 29:18)

Every three years, the Pastor and Pastoral Council undertake the Strategic Initiative Process. The current cycle began in 2008, and out of this process the Strategic Initiatives are generated. These initiatives focus and guide the direction of the parish in terms of setting and acting on goals and priorities for our community.

The Pastoral Council holds a number of listening sessions with parishioners who come from all walks of life, involvement levels and areas of parish life. The parishioners are asked to answer a series of questions about parish activities, challenges, potential issues and past strategic initiatives. The Pastoral Council gets feedback from the staff, and meets over a number of weeks to identify and define the themes heard from the parishioners. From these meetings, the initiatives are drafted, refined and finalized.

The Strategic Initiatives for 2008-2011 are:

  • Foster and Celebrate the Diversity of Our Community
  • Engage Our Youth through Family and Community
  • Create a Culture of Stewardship 

Please visit this site often for updates as our Strategic Initiatives continue to come to life.

MINISTRY HILIGHT - MASS TRANSIT


icon_carpool_smParishioners unable to drive need your help! 

Every week, members of our Mass Transit Ministry help parishioners who are unable to drive to a weekend Mass due to age or physical condition. This means so much to those who rely on this support. This ministry is flexible; you can help out only as much as you can. If you drive to Mass on weekends and have an extra space in your car, please share it with someone who would love to worship with us but who cannot drive. 
To learn how you can help, please call Kathy Fyda-Turner at 848-9552 or Jennifer Hawkins Slusser at 881-9222.
