Our Mission
- As Christians, our mission is to know, love and serve God in order to do His will on earth and, in the end, get to Heaven to be one with Him.
- We can look to the saints as examples of how to live a life of virtue, regardless of vocation.
- Each saint has a unique story of how they overcame the challenegs of sin, grew in virtue and holiness, and lead many others to Heaven along the way.
- This is our baptismal call!
Learn | Pray | Imitate | Evangelize
The saints have fought the good fight and have come out victorious.
They were ordinary people, who encountered Christ in their lives and answered his call to holiness.
We pray that honoring the saints by learning their stories, gleaning their wisdom, immitating their virtues and asking for their intercession will deepen our faith and inspire us to become saints too.
