Parish Pastoral Plan 2020-2025 *
Our primary goal of Our Lady of Angels Parish is to ignite a passion in all members of our community to be disciples of, and live for Jesus Christ through the pillars of Catholic Stewardship. A Catholic steward is one who receives God's gifts gracefully, cherishes and tends them in a responsible and accountable manner, shares them in justice and love with others, and returns them in increase to the Lord. We will do this by evangelizing each parishioner through opportunities to personally experiance Christ's love by intergrating prayer and worship, teaching, community, and service in all parish activities.
Goal 1 - Foster a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer and worship. (Prayer & Worship)
Goal 2 - Promote lifelong formation in order to enhance our relationship with Jesus. (Teaching)
Goal 3 - Welcome one another into a Catholic environment of love, support, and appreciation for each other as the Father welcomes us. ( Community)
Goal 4 - Nurture a social consciousness and a commitment to a life of justice and service, rooted in our faith in Jesus Christ, in the Scriptures, and in Catholic social teaching. (Service)
Goal 5 - Build strong families within our members' nuclear family and our overall OLA family thereby creating better internal and external OLA relationships. (Community)
