St. Kilian Congregation Vision Statement

We, as members of the Catholic Congregation of St. Kilian, share in the mission of the universal Church. We acknowledge God as Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

As family and community of faith, we are joined to the People of God in mind and heart. Through Scripture, Sacramental Celebrations, and Service, we are given the strength and guidance to further the ministry of Jesus Christ in the world today.

United in faith, hope, and love, our baptism joins us to the great work of Redemption of the Risen Savior. We seek to be faithful to Christ’s vision and victory: changing darkness into light and hatred into love by our commitment to the Works of Mercy and our Savior’s commands. We stand with the poor and the powerless, the neglected and forgotten, and the victims of violence and prejudice, as guardians of the human rights of all people.

We seek to be good stewards of all creation, including protection of our Mother Earth and the equitable distribution, conservation, and regulation of the earth’s resources for the generations to come.

Through the gifts that we’ve been given, we pray for a generous and mindful spirit of thanksgiving, as we return these blessings in service to God and others. Each day we seek to build up the universal Church, which is the Body of Christ.
