Saint Peter the Apostle Parish Mission Statement

Dear Parishioners and Community,

We are overjoyed to announce the unveiling of our new mission statement at Saint Peter the Apostle Parish. After careful consideration, reflection, and prayer, our parish staff, in collaboration with members of the congregation, has developed a renewed mission statement that answers the important question, why do we exist?

Mission Statement:

"To witness the truth of the Gospel by joyfully living a Christ-led life of prayer, worship, and service."

This mission statement serves as a compass for our church's activities, ministries, and outreach efforts. It reflects our commitment to building a vibrant, inclusive, and Christ-led community that promotes a deep sense of belonging and discipleship.

Let's break down the key elements of our mission statement:

1. “Witness the truth of the Gospel”: At St. Peter’s, we believe that the Word of God is the foundation of everything we do. We seek to emulate His unconditional love in our interactions with one another and the community around us.
2. “Joyfully living a Christ-led life: We value the importance of authentic connections within our church family. We are dedicated to sustaining a faith community where everyone feels welcomed, supported, and valued.
3. “Prayer”: Our goal is to encourage individuals to deepen their relationship with God. 
4. “Worship”: Through reverent liturgy, individuals can find solace, guidance, and a source of strength to navigate the challenges of life.
5. “Service”: We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. We aim to make a positive and tangible difference in the lives of those around us.

As we celebrate our eighty-fifth year as a parish, we embark on this new chapter with our mission statement, we invite you to join us in prayerfully embracing and living out these values. Together, let us strive to make a lasting impact, reflecting God's light in our community and beyond.

We look forward to journeying with you as we live out our mission and fulfill our purpose as a faith community.
