Eternal God, You have called us to be a faith family under the patronage of St. Joseph. Under the direction of your Holy Spirit we accept the responsibility, both individually and communally, to spread the Kingdon of your Son, Jesus Christ, for your honor and glory. It is our aim, through our living union with Christ to proclaim the Word of Salvation to others and to better the temporal order through witness to Christ in our daily lives. We are a family in faith through your unconditional love, poured out by your Holy Spirit. In the exercise of that faith, people see Christ. Each of us has the right and also the duty, to use the unique spiritual, human and material gifts you have given us in both the church and the world for the common good of all.
WITH THIS AS OUR MOTIVATION, WE RESOLVE TO:
1. Provide an atmosphere of warmth, hospitality and love to enhance the worship and fellowship of our community.
2. Share the richness of our Catholic faith with those of other faiths and grow in understanding of our common faith experiences through joint prayer, worship, and study in a shared community action.
3. Increase awareness among community members of the need to respond generously to those in need.
4. Provide our youth with an environment conducive to Christian living
5. Create an awareness as to the needs and opportunities in pursuing church vocations.
6. Promote good stewardship with all our resorces both personal and communal.
All this we pledge, with the committment of our lives, through your grace and power.
