 Mission
Statement
We believe the mission of the
Mother of God Church is to gather our community for the worship of God. In
addition to the usual and traditional mission of a parish as defined by the
Church founded by Jesus Christ, our special mission is:
-
to proclaim God's saving Word through prayer and
deeds;
- to teach the Word of God on all levels in order to deepen its understanding to
all men, women, youth and children of the faith community;
- to devote to the presentation of liturgy, the attention its majesty deserves
and, through this, to foster the continuation and development of the creative
and performing liturgical arts;
-
to extend the compassion of Christ to those in need from either material,
emotional or spiritual poverty;
-
to challenge the presumptions of our culture with a commitment to justice and
the innate dignity of all persons;
and to accomplish all this as faithful followers of the Loving God Who calls us
to share His life in wonder and joy.
