We,
the Community of Our Lady of Angels Parish, founded by the Franciscans in
1922, believe in one God, the loving Father who, through his Son, Jesus
Christ, has redeemed us and who continues to guide us through the Holy
Spirit.
We believe in the Presence of Christ in the Eucharist
as the source of grace by which we carry Christ to the world.
Our mission as a
faith community is to worship God and, as individuals, to reflect Christ in
all of our interactions.
Consistent with the spirit of St. Francis, we are called
to minister to people's spiritual and social needs.
We commit ourselves
to worship God within the various expressions of community worship as
recognized by the Catholic Church.
We commit to share our gifts and our talents with
others in order to be a healing presence of hope and love.
As the children are the perpetuation of the faith
community, we commit ourselves to their spiritual and intellectual formation
by supporting and enhancing their Catholic education at Our Lady of Angels
School.
We commit to supporting opportunities for continuing
adult spiritual growth and ministries.
With confidence in
the intercession of our patroness, Our Lady of Angels, we dedicate ourselves
to the fulfillment of the ideals of this statement.

Lady of Angels Church
