We the people of God, members of St. Dominic Parish, desire to live in faithful relationship with
our God and each other.
Our prayerful hope is that we live His words: "There are different gifts but the same Spirit;
there are different ministries but the same Lord;
there are different works but the same God
who accomplishes all of them in everyone.
To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given
for the common good. "
(1Cor. 12:4-7) We celebrate our parish community as a tapestry of persons and gifts, woven together by God.
Each of us as members of this church
is called to minister with our gifts and our talents
to serve our brothers and sisters
in our homes, neighborhoods and working places. After prayerful consideration of the above
mission statement and the needs of
St. Dominic Parish it is recommended that ............
each commission and parishioner
consider these and use them in planning their mission for St. Dominic Church.
