1 Saint Pancras Parish Community Building Our Future Together Since 1904 March 18, 2018 Fifth Sunday of Lent OUR MISSION STATEMENT St. Pancras Parish, established in 1904, is a Roman Catholic Parish of the Diocese of Brooklyn. We are a people of diverse cultures, needs, and gifts who come together as part of the Body of Christ to live and share the gospel message of Jesus. We value family life and our participation together in worship, education and spiritual growth, service to human needs and social life. We seek to: Become a more welcoming and caring community, communicating new ideas integrated with traditional values. Promote harmony, reconciliation and healing among our members. Form a more enthusiastic faith-filled community. Establish responsible stewardship of our time, talents and resources. Embrace the Kingdom of God while on our mutual spiritual journey to eternal life with Jesus. In the security of God s unconditional love and empowered by the Resurrection, we will achieve these goals through the wisdom of the gospel and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
