We are a progressive community that is passionate about Jesus

We are called: to deep personal transformation into the likeness of Christ; to participate in profound social transformation towards the reign of God; away from greed, hatred and violence; toward gratitude, reconciliation, and peace.

We are an intentional community, seeking to love and affirm each other. We believe that the quality of our relationships with other is the touchstone of our spiritual lives.

We are passionate about worship, reverence, and singing: about preaching and teaching; about listening to and loving each other; and about standing at the side of the poor and the marginalized in the world.

Jesus is the focus of our journey. We regard Him as the embodiment of the lovingkindness of God, and of God's passion for mercy, justice, and peace. We strive to live out Jesus' teaching, and to enter into the relationship that Jesus has with God as "Abba", the loving Father.

Save the Dates for…
A Lenten Journey

The Mercy and Justice Ministries is sponsoring a Lenten study series based on the popular book “Everything Must Change” * by Brian McLaren. Because of the importance of this book and the impact it has on re-shaping a Christian’s and a congregation’s priorities toward mercy and justice, we feel it would be beneficial to offer this to the entire parish during most of the Sundays of Lent. Instead of our regular adult ed classes and group meetings, we invite you to participate in this DVD group study as a preparation for Easter. We will meet on the following Sundays after the 10:30 Mass for soup and study.

February 14^th, 21^st, and 28^th
March 14^th, 21^st, and 28^th

We will convene again, after Easter, on the 18^th of April to discuss the question “where to from here?”

The Society of Mary will sponsor the Stations of the Cross on the Fridays of Lent in support of Parents of Murdered Children:

6:30 pm
February 19^th & 26^th;

March 5^th, 12^th, 19^th, 26^th

Consider making the class & stations your Lenten Practices 2010.
