We the people of St. James the Greater Catholic Church know God and reveal God's presence-
We strive to be a spiritual community of welcoming, growing, sharing and witnessing Christians in the Catholic tradition.
As a faith community we worship God-
We celebrate our faith in liturgy, encouraging all to active participation and spirital growth.
We reflect on the Word, proclaim, teach and witness to its power-
We share the Gospel within the Church and with the entire community-
We strive to embrace differences, forgive offenses, seek justice and to overcome oppression in our hearts, homes, parish, work place, and the world.
We are a community of parish, school, local and international communities-
In all that we do we wish to lovingly serve the needs of others.
We the people of St James the Greater wish to be a sign of hope-
As we live out the paschal mystery in our own lives, we nurture and support one another.
We pledge ourselves to this mission so that, growing through God's unconditional love, we can transform ourselves and our world in the light of the Gospel.
