Our Culture

what we're building
-
CULTURE OF PRAYER
We commit to inviting God into every decision we make. God is the architect of our parish. We invoke His presence in every conversation. We build our parish (and our lives) by saying "yes" to His invitations. We ask our Blessed Mother and the saints for help in listening and following God.
-
CULTURE OF DISCIPLESHIP
We commit to accompanying one another in our walk with Jesus. It is normal for us to talk often about our relationship with Him. We invite others into a new relationship with Jesus. We use our charisms to build each other up. We are fearless in spreading the Gospel, not just in our comfort zones, but to the whole world.
-
CULTURE OF HEALTHY TEAMWORK
We commit to being a healthy team, and even more, a family. We trust each other. We do not run away from each other's messes. We offer and receive forgiveness. We reconcile. We ask for help when we need it. We do not pretend to have it all together. We give each other (and ourselves) permission to be real and vulnerable.
