We are proud to introduce our series of reflections on the parish mission statement, our parish focus for the year. Monthly we will highlight one area of the mission statement in the homily at weekend liturgies and through a bulletin insert prepared by various staff members. On the feast of Pentecost in June we will celebrate in a special way our renewed commitment to the mission of Saint Patrick Parish at each weekend liturgy.

Saint Patrick Parish Community, nurtured by the Eucharist and the Word of God, recognize our responsibility to be a welcoming community.

We acknowledges our mission to:
Pass on our Catholic traditions;
Strengthen the spiritual life of all parishioners;
Serve those in need;
Give witness to the Gospel;
Reach out to those who are searching for a community of faith.

We are proud to offer our series of reflections on our parish mission statement, a continuing parish focus. These reflections, written by different staff members, highlight one area of the mission statement so that we can understand its relationship to our Gospel life here in St. Patrick's Parish. These were developed during the 2002-2003 liturgical year, and were highlighted on the front page of our bulletin. We ended the celebration of our mission statement with a recommitment ritual at each liturgy on Pentecost Sunday 2003.
