The mission statement of St. Isidore Parish.

St. Isidore Parish is a Catholic faith community committed to helping people deepen their relationship with Christ.  The cornerstones of our mission are:

  • the celebration of the Eucharist,
  • Christian service,
  • evangelization, and
  • religious education for every person. 

These are the foundations through which we help people to grow and sustain the excitement of their relationship.  We are committed, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to welcoming all to our faith community, seeing Christ in one another and growing in our commitment to be more like Christ, especially in our daily prayer life.

Goal 1 - It is the goal of this parish to strengthen the faith
commitment of the parishioners, both children and adults, by involving
them in opportunities that will allow them to experience a growth in
their faith.

Goal 2 - It is the goal of this parish to develop a plan to reach out
to other parishes within our cluster.  This outreach can be on an
informal and/or formal basis.
