A Renewed Vision for Our Parish Community

After much prayer and discernment, we are excited to share our newly crafted Parish Mission and Vision Statements. These guiding principles will come to serve as a framework for our decision-making process reflecting our values as we continue to grow together in our spiritual journey while reaching out to the wider community.

Mission Statement

We are a vibrant, welcoming Catholic community, with a Christ-centered mission to follow the example of our patron, St. Vincent de Paul, and proclaim the Gospel message to our parishioners and the wider community. 

Vision Statement

Worship & Liturgy Vision: To maximize participation in worship and liturgy through expanded communication, focused evangelization to younger populations, inclusion of contemporary/youth-oriented music ministry, and expansion of devotionals (e.g., the Rosary, Stations of the Cross, etc.).

Education Vision: To deepen the understanding of our Catholic faith, in our adult, youth and children formation programs through digital platforms, targeted activities, and community engagement.

Social Services Vision: To provide for the immediate needs of families and individuals with the goal of assisting them to self-sufficiency through training workshops and collaboration with existing agencies.

Temporal Facilities Vision: To maintain and expand our current parish facilities in order to respond to the growing needs of our parish community through a phased capital campaign.

Social Events Activities Vision: To provide social activities and events for all age groups to witness to the Catholic faith and to strengthen the sense of parish community.

WASHINGTON – In response to the Supreme Court of the United States issuing its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore, chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Pro-Life Activities issued the following statement:

“This is a historic day in the life of our country, one that stirs our thoughts, emotions and prayers. For nearly fifty years, America has enforced an unjust law that has permitted some to decide whether others can live or die; this policy has resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of preborn children, generations that were denied the right to even be born.

“America was founded on the truth that all men and women are created equal, with God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This truth was grievously denied by the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling, which legalized and normalized the taking of innocent human life. We thank God today that the Court has now overturned this decision. We pray that our elected officials will now enact laws and policies that promote and protect the most vulnerable among us.

“Our first thoughts are with the little ones whose lives have been taken since 1973. We mourn their loss, and we entrust their souls to God, who loved them from before all ages and who will love them for all eternity. Our hearts are also with every woman and man who has suffered grievously from abortion; we pray for their healing, and we pledge our continued compassion and support. As a Church, we need to serve those who face difficult pregnancies and surround them with love.

“Today’s decision is also the fruit of the prayers, sacrifices, and advocacy of countless ordinary Americans from every walk of life. Over these long years, millions of our fellow citizens have worked together peacefully to educate and persuade their neighbors about the injustice of abortion, to offer care and counseling to women, and to work for alternatives to abortion, including adoption, foster care, and public policies that truly support families. We share their joy today and we are grateful to them. Their work for the cause of life reflects all that is good in our democracy, and the pro-life movement deserves to be numbered among the great movements for social change and civil rights in our nation’s history.

“Now is the time to begin the work of building a post-Roe America. It is a time for healing wounds and repairing social divisions; it is a time for reasoned reflection and civil dialogue, and for coming together to build a society and economy that supports marriages and families, and where every woman has the support and resources she needs to bring her child into this world in love.

“As religious leaders, we pledge ourselves to continue our service to God’s great plan of love for the human person, and to work with our fellow citizens to fulfill America’s promise to guarantee the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all people.”
