St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish Mission Statement

We are a Catholic Christian Community under the patronage of our Modern Saint, St. Maximilian Kolbe. Our parish strives to serve unselfishly all who seek the Lord and to provide a safe and nurturing home for prayer, worship, education, and spiritual growth. Led by the Holy Spirit and strengthened by the Eucharist, we work to unify the Body of Christ.

2007-2008 Adult Faith Formation Brochure 

The Christian family is a communion of persons, a sign and image of the communion of the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit. In the procreation and education of children it reflects the Father’s work of creation. It is called to partake of the prayer and sacrifice of Christ. Daily prayer and the reading of the Word of God strengthen it in charity. The Christian family has an evangelizing and missionary task.  (Catechism #2205)

In our time, in a world often alien and even hostile to faith, believing families are of primary importance as centers of living, radiant faith. For this reason the Second Vatican Council, using an ancient expression, calls the family Ecclesia domestica [domestic church]. It is in the bosom of the family that parents are “by word and example…the first heralds of the faith with regard to their children. They should encourage them in the vocation in which is proper to each child, fostering with special care any religious vocation."
