Parish Mission Statement

We the people of Saint Isidore Parish are a diverse community, challenged to joyfully respond to the call of Jesus under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Consistent with Catholic tradition, we are:

United in worshipping God, the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit by serving Him through serving each other.
Devoted to unity within the Body of Christ, supporting and challenging one another to live the message of the Gospel through the celebration of the Holy Sacraments.
Committed to a church community that fosters evangelization, service, hospitality, stewardship and a zeal for genuine unity and belonging.

Vision

We will be as a beacon on a hill, leading our community into communion with God and with one another.

Pastoral Plan

To accomplish the Mission of the Parish Pastoral Council within the Vision of the Parish Community, the Pastoral Council develops a Pastoral Plan with Goals, Objectives, Activities, and with identified Parish Resources to accomplish the Plan. The Pastoral Plan is reviewed, evaluated and updated each Liturgical Year. The link to the Pastoral Plan is: Pastoral Plan
