Vision
Our parish cluster of St. Michael, St. Patrick and St. Thomas the Apostle is striving to become a community made up of many small welcoming communities of people who are learning together to live vibrant faith-filled lives. The Catholic learning community thrives on its sacramental life centered in the Eucharist, other life-giving prayer experiences, and various forms of devotion.
Adults are engaged in lifelong faith formation in Catholic Christian life. Parishioners of all ages are involved in various forms of leadership development as they become Disciples of Christ in the world. They are energized to witness to the Gospel, be good stewards of the earth’s resources and work together to create a Christian world.
Parents are actively involved in the formal faith formation of their children and youth. All family members participate in catechetical programs both in the parishes and through the school.
