Mission, Vision and Values

We, the St. Brendan Catholic Community are called to:

in order to make visible the reign of God by transforming our world.

When our mission is fully realized:

Our parish community is growing in our faith and developing a deeper relationship with God and trust in God’s plan for us. Our worship is profound, prayerful and joyful.
Parents in our community are fulfilling their responsibility of passing on the gift of faith to their children. Our school excels in educating and inspiring students in a Catholic-centered environment. All of our parishioners, young and old, participate in formation programs, both as teachers and students.
Our parish life is vibrant, active and fun. We embrace and celebrate the diversity of our parish and surrounding community. Stewardship is a way of life for us. This leads to prophetic outreach and action for social justice. Parishioners see themselves as disciples and apostles; they minister through their gifts in their families, in their work and in the wider world.

The people of St. Brendan Parish value:

Hospitality – inviting people from many backgrounds to be united in faith.
Worship and Prayer – profound, joyful celebration of Word and Sacrament, and Catholic devotions.
Lifelong Faith Formation – passing along our faith, while developing a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.
Stewardship – recognizing that all our gifts are from God, and that we are to share our time, talent and treasure with others.
Evangelization – bringing the Gospel to others, and inviting others to share in our faith.
Outreach – open and generous service to others
Justice – advocacy and action flowing from the Catholic social tradition for the sanctity of life in all its expressions.
