St Joseph Church Mission Statement

 

Motivated by our belief in Jesus Christ and bound

together by our Roman Catholic faith, we are a

parish that seeks to respond to the Gospel

invitation by living as God's people. Baptized

into Christ Jesus, confirmed by the gift of the

Holy Spirit, and nourished by the Eucharist, we

are a community that gives glory to God and

proclaims His message of love and salvation.
