Our Lady, Mother of the Church Mission Statement

We, the members of Our Lady, Mother of the Church, are drawn together through baptism as a part of the Body of Christ. We are a caring Catholic community, working together as instruments through which Jesus, our risen Lord and Head, continues His mission. Linked to Christ as His Body, we be-lieve that the risen Jesus still proclaims God’s word, gives thanks and praise, welcomes, nurtures, com-forts and reaches out to all people. Using the hands and hearts of the members of the parish, with a growing sense that each of us is gifted and has an important part to play in our Parish, Church and World, we renew our call: ♦ to be a Parish diligent about Word and Eucharist,

the primary source of our nourishment and spiritual growth... ♦ to be “missioned” - sent forth in the person of

Jesus, to bring His Word and Eucharist to family, friends, neighbors and workplace...

♦ to reach out to the sick, the homebound, the per-secuted, the lonely, the poor and the bereaved…

♦ to find time to share laughter, joy, friendship, at times, tears; and always to share the goodness of each other...

Saturday 5pm & Sunday 11am Masses are available on on-line.

The live stream can be found on the YouTube channel:

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits

who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.
