We, the Roman Catholic community of Our Lady of the Rosary
and Our Lady of Jasna Gora parishes, believe
that our mission is to respond joyfully to
Christ’s call to become more fully the people of
God and to carry on the mission of Christ and
His Church in our communities and beyond. That
mission is carried on fundamentally
by proclaiming the Gospel of forgiveness, love
and reconciliation to every person.
We are a family of faith centered on the Eucharist, which
is the summit and the source of all that we do
and hope to become.
Our desire is to be a community of prayer, service and
stewardship leading each other closer to Christ
in the variety of the gifts, services and
ministries that we employ to help build up the
Kingdom of God.
We pray to the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit, through the intercession of Mary, to
whose care our parishes are consecrated: May the
Lord of Light guide us in our earthly journey.

Mission Task:
As Disciples of Christ we therefore commit
ourselves to:
-
worship God in spirit and truth through
"prayer without ceasing," and particularly
through the celebration of the Eucharist and
the other sacraments of the Church;
-
create and nourish Christian community in
the domestic church of the family, in the
life of every parish, and in society as a
whole;
-
proclaim in word and deed the Good News of
Jesus Christ to all persons, inviting each
of our sisters and brothers in the human
community to share our faith and our
mission;
-
teach the saving message of Christ so that
all believers may come to deeper
understanding, conversion and personal
witness to Christ;
-
serve all our sisters and brothers,
particularly the poor and needy, by generous
acts of charity and by working together with
all people of good will for justice and
peace.
PARISH MISSION
STATEMENT
The Mission
Statement of each parish indicates the unique
qualities of its history, tradition and
composition as well as its particular vision for
fulfilling the mission of Jesus Christ. It gives
specific expression to the parish intention to
live out its calling within the concrete
boundaries of its location, resources and needs.
It defines why a particular parish exists.
Forming a mission
statement involves processes of discernment and
consensus. The pastor and council, having
listened to the parish reflect upon its unique
characteristics, resources and gifts, determine
how it can best give expression to the diocesan
vision and the particular call of God to this
parish community.
