Purpose Teams

In September 2008 St. Patrick's Parish unveiled a new Parish Vision discovered in the good news of the Gospel. God calls us to grow in faith as individuals and as a community, and Stewardship, a way of living one's life and faith on purpose, is a critical component of this call. The spirituality of Stewardship provides a context in which we can strive to be faithful servants walking God's talk and this is the essence of of the new Pastoral Vision.

St. Patrick's Parish is blessed with many faithful servants involved in numerous ministries. These ministries have been divided into four Purpose Teams according to their primary activites within the parish and beyond. These teams are small faith groups who engage in prayer and reflection to help set parish direction and work together on common service opportunities. The four Purpose Teams and their ministries are listed below:
