Preparing for Mission
The Church has existed from the very beginning for the salvation of souls. Jesus came to "seek and to save the lost" (Luke 19:10) and, upon ascending into heaven, He entrusted this mission to us, His Church. That is why we are here.
We must take seriously the call that Jesus has extended to us to "make disciples of all nations," but we first have to learn what it means to be disciples — to belong to Jesus. That is why we are engaging in a new plan aimed at the renewal of our Church, our parish, and, foremost, our own hearts.
This is your invitation: Jesus is calling you. Will you answer?

A Time for Renewal
Our "Mission Pathway" allows all parishioners to discern where they currently are and how they can grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
BEHOLD — We encounter God in a profound way that changes us."When they heard this, they were cut to the heart." — Acts 2:37
BELONG — We learn to be God's people, present and learning."The community of believers was of one heart and mind." — Acts 4:32
BELIEVE — We grow in conviction of the Way, the Truth, and the Life."Zeal for Your house will consume me." — John 2:17
BECOME — We strive to imitate Jesus as faithful and fruitful disciples."Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." — Matthew 4:19
Jesus invites us to come away and rest with Him a while. The world is busy and hectic, and often it can feel overwhelming to try and live the Christian life. But Jesus continues to invite us to come near, to receive His love and life into us, and to respond to His call to follow Him.

Discipleship GroupsRENEW Discipleship Groups exist to support each individual and call them to grow in love of God and neighbor. Using a Bible Study format, our RENEW groups invite participants to reflect on the Word of God and encounter the Lord in Scripture.
Our vision is simple: every parishioner belongs in a RENEW group. The goal is for every parishioner to join a group within the next 5–10 years. These discipleship groups are designed to allow people to grow in friendship — to be intentionally known and loved by a small group community.
