Mission Statement

We are the people of Saint Rose of Lima Catholic Church: guided by the Spirit, blessed with an abundance of talents that we use in service for God and our diverse parish community, and united together as a Catholic faith family living Christian values.

Recognizing and utilizing the talents of our members, we dedicate ourselves to the deepening of our relationship with God by worship (Sacraments) and prayer, education and evangelization, and the support for and spiritual growth of our members.

• Loving service to God's people through ministries, recruitment, advertisement (communication,) and participation;

• Opportunities for variety in celebrating the Liturgy and the Sacraments including ecumenical services and projects.

2.) We care for our community by:

• Perpetuation of a sense of community through social events, home visits, and participation in the ministries;

• Celebrating and valuing diversity;

• Respecting each other through valuing others' time, needs, and hopes.

3.) We evangelize for everyone's on-going conversion by:

• Studying and Living the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, and the Spirit of the Scriptures;
