We are responding to Pope Francis and Bishop da Cunha’s call to Rebuild the Church in Faith and Hope by building on the healthy foundation of our parishioners and past Pastors.
We have partnered with Rebuilt Parish, a movement in the Church that has inspired many parishes to grow. We grow wider by creating a culture that welcomes outsiders and makes Mass accessible to them. We encourage our parishioners to grow deeper as disciples of Jesus by providing a clear discipleship path. At the center of these efforts to grow deeper and wider is the weekend Mass experience.
Welcome Outsiders:
Build a culture which strives to serve those who have never come to Church (un-churched) and those who have not been to church in a long time (de-churched). That begins with hospitality and calling upon parishioners already coming to get of the pews and serve.
Create an Exceptional Mass Experience.
Everything comes together at Mass. A great Mass experience takes people deeper in their faith and brings them back to your parish next week. A great weekend experience is built around hymns, homilies and hospitality. Mass is meant to be the bedrock of everything we do as a Parish.
Shape a Clear Discipleship Path.
We will encourage parishioners to go deeper in their faith by providing the ministries and systems to do so. The Rebuilt path for this is utilizing the S.T.E.P.S of Discipleship. SERVE in Ministry. TITHE (give financially). ENGAGE in Small Groups. PRACTICE Prayer and the Sacraments. SHARE your faith (Invest and Invite).
