WE GO FORTH – part 1[TO BECOME ONE: Episode 12]
As a parish, WE GO FORTH. We will be an instrument of grace and guidance as we grow in becoming missionary disciples. Recognizing the sacred trust we have been given to make known the Kingdom of God, we will provide opportunities to become conscious of and responsive to injustice and inequality.

WE NURTURE through FAITH FORMATION[TO BECOME ONE: Episode 11]
As a parish, WE NURTURE. We will commit ourselves to support your baptismal call to grow in holiness. Through quality faith formation, we pledge to support your spiritual, communal, and personal growth. We will be a home where your voice is valued, your concerns are respected, and your needs are addressed.
As parishioners, WE NURTURE. I will be intentional in growing in a life of discipleship by my commitment to lifelong learning, faith sharing, and immersing myself in the Gospel. I will be more conscious of my part in the growth of others in faith, hope, and love. -

In our everyday world we use the word covenant to describe a usually, formal, solemn, and binding agreement. Covenant holds more weight than the word contract. It implies a promise that is often rooted in relationship.
What is this Community Covenant anyway!?
To help us to be more aware of our relationship with Christ and the parish, the pastoral council has gathered the wisdom from, scripture, books on discipleship in todays world, and listening to parishioners. They have drawn together those thoughts in a covenant for our parish. This covenant is a document that expresses the relationship between the community and a single member of the parish from both sides. It is a vision of what it looks like to be a disciple, as well as a vision of a vibrant and inclusive parish community. Our Community Covenant has 6 sections: We Pray, We Invite, We Serve, We Nurture, We Go Forth, and We Embrace.
To help form this parish community in our Community Covenant we are using a video series "To Become One" as well as discussion groups held by way of Zoom.
