We in Holy Family Parish,
Mossend, commit ourselves to becoming:
A Christian
community which unashamedly shines a beacon light in
the midst of a secular world and strives to dialogue
with this world so that all men and women may come to
know the God within them.
A
community centered on the Word of God where God’s
Word is proclaimed and heard in a way which is relevant
and life-giving.
A community which seeks to nourish
its members by a dignified yet spirited celebration
of the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist which is
at the very centre of its life.
A community known for our faith, hope and love and for
our eagerness to share with others the riches and beauty
of the truth that we treasure.
A communty which preaches by word and example the Gospel
message of justice and peace and proclaims the sanctity
of life in all its stages.
A community where the disadvantaged and marginalised
feel welcome and valued and their voices heard.
We
commit ourselves to being the kind of community where,
what was once said of the people of God in the days
of Zechariah, may also be said of us:
‘In those days,
then, men from nations of every
language will take a Jew by the sleeve and say :
‘We want to go with you,
since we have learned that God is with you’.”
