VISION of St. Patrick Faith Community

 

We are called through Baptism to be a Holy people, who are joyful and reverent in our celebration of the Eucharist. We live out the Gospel message as one Body in Christ, in unity with our Diocese and faithful to our universal Roman Catholic Church.   We strive towards dignity, honor and forgiveness for all.  We are commissioned and respond to the words of Christ: “Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation,” (Mark 16:15).

 

We are called through Baptism to be an authentic Community of Catholic Christians by being respectful, supportive and life-giving.  We aspire to be a vibrant and welcoming community, rooted in love and generosity of heart.  We value the diversity of our faith family and benefit from everyone’s spirituality and circumstances.

 

We are called through Baptism to live the Mission and Ministry of Jesus Christ.  As His disciples, we receive, nurture and share our Creator’s gifts with justice.  At St. Patrick Parish, we support one another and are emboldened by the Holy Spirit to carry on the redeeming work of our Lord and Savior.  Under the guidance of our Bishop and Pastoral Leadership, we serve our parish, our greater Hudson community, and all God’s people, for His greater glory.

 

We are called through Baptism to continually grow in Christian Maturity.  Our journey toward full Christian maturity is about an ongoing conversion and renewal.  Our hearts and minds are open to God’s call, wherever the Holy Spirit leads us. The calls of Holiness, Community, Mission and Ministry must become priorities in our individual, family, and community lives.

 

This Vision, developed by the Pastoral Council, will continue as the working vision for St. Patrick Catholic Community until the Diocesan sponsored parish assessment is finished; at which time it will be re-visited.
