8 Page 8 Last chance to give feedback on Proposed Mission Statement for our Parish The Pastoral Council has been working on a brief description of our parish to help identify who we are and to guide us in our pastoral planning. The Statement will change as our parish changes in the future. After discussions during the past three meetings, the Council reached consensus with this Statement: Established in 1922, the parish family of St. John the Baptist Church welcomes and invites all people of the community, especially those in need. Guided by the Holy Spirit we are sustained by the Sunday Eucharist, the Word of God and the Sacraments. All are encouraged to share their time, talent and treasure as we grow in love through our Catholic faith and the life, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Would you like to give the Council feedback on the proposed Mission Statement? Does the mission statement reflect the values of our parish? Yes No Do you have any comments for the Council? (your name) You can drop this in the collection basket, or send to the Parish Office.
