HOLY FAMILY PARISH MISSION STATEMENT
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’.” (Zech. 8:23)
