We are dedicated to furthering love, compassion, justice and peace in our local world and beyond. We seek to be open, welcoming, inclusive, prayerful, awakening, life affirming, grace-filled, sacramental, collaborative, empowering, spiritual, a priestly people of God, celebrating individual gifts, committed to social justice, and rooted in the teachings of Jesus. We are founded on two of the great pillars of his teaching: Everyone is welcome and included; and service to the community and the poor.
