ST. JOHN PAUL II PARISH MINISTRY BOOKLET 2016-2017 PARISH MISSION STATEMENT: BUILDING GOD’S KINGDOM BY GROWING DISCIPLES AND MAKING DISCIPLES THROUGH LOVE OF GOD AND NEIGHBOR Parish Vision Statement Our vision is for parishioners who: • Have a personal relationship with Jesus and feel comfortable sharing their faith with others. • Are open to the gifts of the Holy Spirit in their lives. • Have a knowledge and love of the Scriptures. • Know basic Catholic teaching. • Are committed to daily prayer and can pray spontaneously when asked to do so. • Are committed to Sunday Eucharist. • See their lives as given to God’s work. Parish Commissions and Organizations St. John Paul II Parish structure is divided into 7 commissions: Christian Service, Faith Formation, Parish Life, School, Spiritual Life and Evangelization, Stewardship and Youth Ministry.
