Goals1

Our WORSHIP is meant to be the “source and summit” of our Christian spirit. Sunday after Sunday, we come together as a family to be nourished by Word and Sacrament, so that we can better live the Gospel. Jesus calls us to make every Sacrament a graced moment, an opportunity to experience his saving touch. We celebrate those moments as brothers and sisters of the Lord. The welcome that we extend to one another is meant to renew us as a people and strengthen our resolve to grow together in God’s love.
