Ss. John & Paul Parish Mission Statement
Called together by our common baptism, Ss. John and Paul Parish strives to live the good news of Jesus by celebrating Eucharist and all the sacraments. Committed to life-long learning, we share Christ with others by living our faith and reaching out in love.
Vision Statement for Ss. John and Paul Parish
Beginning in September 2010, the Pastoral Council has worked to develop a guiding vision for the life of Ss. John and Paul Parish.
The Council has consulted diocesan and church directives about parish life (including the Church’s six essential dimensions of lifelong faith formation), has considered various suggestions and alternatives, and then has discussed the life of the parish with committees, organizations and parish groups. The Council has prayed for guidance and wisdom, to provide a compelling vision of the parish’s future.
The Pastoral Council first identified priorities for the life of the parish. For each of the eight priorities, the Council then noted more specific goals, by which to achieve the priority.
Work on this vision statement is an ongoing process with the current Council. In addition, the Council continues to meet with the committees, organizations and groups of the parish, to gauge how the priorities and goals are being implemented.
