Led by the Spirit of God and blessed with a unique diversity, we joyfully welcome all people, and as a community of faith, with our Sunday worship celebration as the source of our strength, are inspired by the vision of Saints Francis and Clare:
- We come together to seek the face of Jesus Christ in every
person we meet, respecting the dignity and affirming the value of
each individual.
- We come together as partners in ministry, reaching out 'to
the street' with love and compassion for all people - the poor, the
elderly, the shut-ins, the lonely, single parents, children and
young adults, those alienated, and those un-welcomed.
- We come together embracing the gifts of our members, and it
is through God's grace that we are empowered to share these gifts
with each other, both within the local community and inside our
church.
- We come together as a reconciling community, trusting in God
alone, who turns our hearts to peace and all-goodness. We stand as a
people committed to seeking the kingdom of God, where enemies begin
to speak to one another and those who are estranged join hands in
friendship.
Our mandate is to answer God's call to Saint Francis to 'go and rebuild My Church', to deliver the Good News of Jesus Christ, and to love God in all of God's creation.
