MISSION STATEMENT

We, the community of St. Mary the Mother of God Catholic Church, love God above all.

We extend that love to all neighbors and welcome them into our church community.

We are a healing, caring, and serving community who empower each other by recognizing and utilizing our unique God given talents and gifts for those in need, the poor, the oppressed, the ill.

We are a community united by the Eucharist and nurtured by the Scripture, prayer, and ongoing faith formation.

We continue to work for justice and peace for all God’s people and strive for open communications to allow all to live in peace.
