Our Mission

We are a culturally rich Catholic community strengthened and united in faith and worship. We strive to be messengers of hope, making God’s Word active in our everyday lives. We promote unity and self-growth, provide outreach to individuals in need and welcome all for fellowship and worship.
 

Our Guiding Principles

We believe that we

• Celebrate the Eucharist as a presence of God within our parish community.
• Exist in the presence of God and are called to be that presence for each other.
• Make dreams come true by acting together to make them happen.
• Come together to be nourished by the word of God.
• Stand for reconciliation, peace, justice, and love.
• Are called to ministry by virtue of our baptism.
• Are called to be unifiers and reconcilers.

We value

The inter-cultural and inter-ethnic gifts, talents, and abilities of each and every person.
Collaboration with neighboring organizations to provide assistance to the Westport area.
Demonstrating concern about the needs of others, especially the poor.
Nonjudgmental support.
Acceptance of people as they are.
