Bishop Robert Barron released a short video entitled, "Christ Calls You to Mission" which ties in perfectly with St. Mary's purpose statement. Fr. Nick recently introduced our purpose statement during Mass: "To form disciples who joyfully live out the mission of Jesus Christ." The Bishop presents a powerful message in a compelling manner. Living and proclaiming the Gospel is the call for all of us! It is our mission and the mission of the Church! Click on Bishop Barron to view the video.
