OUR VALUES (What We Hold Dear)
Catholic Education
We believe our Catholic School and Parish Religious Education Programs matter, are indispensable to our youth and our Parish, and are essential in making disciples.

Charity
Empowered by the Sacraments, we will demonstrate our love for one another as Christ loved us and will meet the needs of our Parish and our community by generously giving of our resources and intentionally returning to God a portion of what He has first given to us.

Grace
We will freely and encouragingly extend the Love of Jesus to everyone we meet, wherever we meet them along their spiritual journey, inviting them to be of one mind in fellowship with us.
