Mission Statement
We, the Parish Family of Holy Name of Mary, St. Charles Borromeo & St. Vincent de Paul Churches, believe that our Mission as faithful Roman Catholics is to present the Image or Our Lord to all that he brings to us in this life.
In doing so, we are answering the call, placed before us through the Sacrament of Baptism, to be Missionary Disciples of Christ in this community and as a result assist others in developing a personal relationship with Our Loving and Merciful God.

Praying for the dead, offering the Holy Mass for them, visiting their graves and doing charitable works for the repose of their souls is the traditional Christian practice. As this month of November is specially dedicated to Holy Souls in Purgatory it is highly recommended that we find time to attend Holy Mass apart from Sundays to offer our prayers for our beloved departed souls and the forgotten souls in Purgatory. Our little sacrifice on earth has a great value before God in Heaven. Fr. Jay
