People experience the presence of Jesus Christ in the world through the ministry of the church. The first task of the parish community is to reach out to all people in christian love and service.
Christian hospitality draws people together, opens them up to participation and sets the tone of the liturgy. Every christian is called to ministry and gifted by the Holy Spirit. This calling is rooted in our baptism...by means of our initiation into the church and strengthened by grace, God empowers each person with the resources for ministry.
