Our Lady of Peace Family of Parishes
The Vision:
We strive to know Jesus Christ and hold his Holy Spirit in us so that our lives may truly be His and we may be inspired to tell His good news in our deeds and words. Our parish supports us in this effort by training us and those who do not yet know Christ in the faith and for mission. This will bring each of us to know and love and serve the Lord in this life so that we may be happy with Him in the next.
