“The joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the men [people] of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ. Indeed, nothing genuinely human fails to raise an echo in their hearts.”
—Pope Paul VI, GaudiumetSpes (1), December 7, 1965.

We commit to serve our brothers and sisters, both locally and globally, acting as witnesses for justice in our world, and serving as the hands, feet and heart of Christ whenever and wherever called. 

We are a community that seeks to serve. We will always extend a helping hand to our brothers and sisters from every walk of life, within our parish, in our local community, nationally and internationally. We will consistently work to promote the dignity and quality of life from conception to natural death.
