Our Church strives to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ by providing a Catholic education for our youth, on-going education for adults, training for our leadership, and encouraging our members to discover and use their God-given talents. Our mission is continually realized by being a worshiping community, united and nurtured by the sacraments, scripture and prayer, as we celebrate God's saving grace. Our mission is further realized by fostering a sense of unity and social awareness of each other in good times and in bad, and joining other parishes in the Valleys to spread the Gospel.
