PARISH MISSION STATEMENT The Parish of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is a Roman Catholic community of the disciples of Jesus Christ called together by the Holy Spirit to worship and serve God our Father. Alert to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we proclaim our Faith and enrich our members spiritually through the Sacred Liturgy as we educate them in our Religious Tradition. Cherishing the heritage we have received from dedicated clergy, religious, and parishioners who came before us, we encourage one another to place our gifts at the service of the Kingdom of God as good stewards. As men and women of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds we welcome everyone as we invite new members to join our parish family. We strive to provide an atmosphere of acceptance in which each member feels recognized and valued, as we cooperate with our neighbors in the community to promote the common good. Together we face the future with our hope anchored in Jesus Christ who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
