We are guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit, in service to God and trusting the traditions of the Church. We are a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-lingual Community that was raised by immigrants. We seek to know our faith, to live by truth and love, to serve the needs of others, and to strengthen and inspire our Parish Family. We welcome all to join us as we reach out in justice and love to build God's kingdom.
