Mission and Pastoral Plan
At Saint Alphonsus Parish, we strive to...
WORSHIP God through the celebration of the Eucharist, the other sacraments and special devotions with liturgies that are meaningful, well prepared, and which encourage active participation.
EDUCATE and guide the development of our younger members with effective parish school and religious education programs; and provide for the continued faith development of our adult community through training programs and prayer experiences designed to challenge the intellect and enhance spiritual growth.
REACH-OUT to those parishioners no longer active in the practice of their faith to reunite them with the joys and blessings of our faith.
SHARE our resources to aid those suffering, especially the poor, the sick, the forgotten, and victims of tragedies of any kind.
PROMOTE a sense of community which draws all parishioners together around our church and our faith through prayer, a spirit of hospitality, mutual respect, and Christian concern for one anothe.
RECOGNIZE and develop the leadership potential of our parish members by providing opportunities for all to participate fully in the various missions and ministries of the Church.
