the old order has passed away.

God

one (St. John)

(as opposed to uniformity)
- One Body of Christ - but many members; many
ministries - but one spirit in Christ
Mission Statement
A. By virtue of the Sacrament of Baptism which
we have been all marked, we, the believing Christians in this Community of Holy
Angels Parish are committed to share our faith with one another in WORD and
ACTION. In WORD, we are committed to teach and instill in the hearts of our
people the basic truths and values of our Christian Faith, as we live and grow
in our faith, so that in our ACTION, we participate actively in the life of the
Parish in our WORSHIP, EDUCATION, and SERVICE and SHARING of our TALENTS, TIME
& TREASURE.
- God created us to know him, to love him and
to serve so that we will be with him forever in his kingdom. (Pope Pius
X)
- Pope Paul VI completed this Catechism: God
created us to know him so that we can share our knowledge of him with others; to
love him so that we can lead others to love him; to serve him so that we can let
others serve him by serving one another; so that all of us will be with him
forever in his kingdom.
- “A new commandment I give you that you love
one another as I have loved. By this all people will know that you are my
disciples if you love one another.”
Parish Goal and
Objective
A. Statement of the desired goal
- Knowing one another in the Parish is one way
of establishing God’s Community. Knowing is a prerequisite of loving. When we
know and love each other, we can interact with one another. We can form leaders
who are willing to actively participate in bringing the realization of the
Vision and Mission Statements of this Parish.
- In our Parish Church, we have active and
non-active members. We have registered and non-registered ones. We have the
supporting and the non-supporting members. We have people who believe that
coming to Mass here is already a sign of their being a member of this parish.
But we hope that all parishioners be active and supportive to our Parish Church
and Community.
B. Statement of the desired objective
- We recognize the different existing parish
organizations. It is our hope that we are aware and have aligned ourselves with
our vision, mission and goal; that leaders in all our parish organizations must
be a model of an active member. We live within our parish boundary; or if
outside, we are registered and supportive.
- Knowing these various organizations in our
Parish Community and the limitations of our Parish Facilities, we also know how
to make adjustments in order to accommodate the needs of the Parish and the
School as a whole. We can set objectives for our various organizations, but the
Parish and the School must have always the priority.
