About our Church
Our Parish mission statement:

•practicing hospitality, welcoming everyone, living our faith with such joy that we transform the entire community, attracting many to find Christ in our midst and respecting every human life as sacred.
•deepening spirituality where everyone feels called to develop a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus through a lifelong journey of continuing education and enrichment.
•living stewardship where everyone participates actively in sharing their gifts of time, talent, and treasure to build the Kingdom of God in gratitude for all God's gifts."

St Clare of Assisi
Our Patron Saint
Place your mind before the mirror of eternity!
Place your soul in the brilliance of glory!
Place your heart in the figure of the divine substance!
And transform your whole being into the image of the
Godhead Itself
through contemplation!
So that you too may feel what His friends feel
as they taste the hidden sweetness
which God Himself has reserved
from the beginning
for those who love Him.
~ Saint Clare of Assisi
