Saint Patrick Church Mission
We, the members of the Faith Community of Saint Patrick, in communion with the Holy Father and the Archbishop of Philadelphia, proclaim the Good News of Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Through the sacraments of initiation, we show the Way, we confirm the Truth and we celebrate the Life. We seek to create an atmosphere through worship-1, education-2 and service-3 such that we can experience God as a dynamic force in our daily lives. We will demonstrate our strength as a parish community as we build the Kingdom of God through our varied gifts, services and ministries.
We are committed to:
- Worship of God through the celebration of the sacraments-4, particularly the Eucharist.
- Inspire and develop Christian ideals and to celebrate the diversity-5 among the families, our parish and the Norristown area and beyond.
- Spread the Word of God with the missionary Saint Patrick-6 as our model and by our actions, invite all to share in our faith-7.
- Teach as Jesus did in order to bring all to salvation through Him.
- Be a healing and reconciling community striving for justice and peace through service to others-8.
We pray to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, through the intercession of Mary and Saint Patrick, that we may be faithful and generous stewards of all that has been bestowed upon us.
