“Francis, go and rebuild my Church.”

Mission Statement
He said to them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.”
- Mark 16:15
Vision
Following in the footsteps of our Patron Saint, the words commanded to Francis, “Rebuild My Church”, resound through the centuries with a renewed sense of urgency in our day. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our day has been so profound that it beckons us to lay aside concern for our own welfare and lives, abandoning ourselves completely to the providence of the Father and taking up our Lord Jesus the work of renewing his Church.

(use here vs as the mission statement)
Church renewal by helping people understand that the charismatic gifts are real, not just things that happen in the Bible. This starts with our very identity as children of God and must flow from here. God's ministry has always been a healing ministry and it is still a healing ministry; He does not change. We want to help others to experience this, and practice using spiritual gifts first in their own communities, and later, for those who are called, in the foreign mission field. As they experience the Holy Spirit at work through using their spiritual gifts with others, they will be transformed and will come back to their parishes with powerful testimonies which will continue to animate the parishes.
