St. Matthew's Vision

Following Jesus Christ
and with the power of the Holy Spirit,
we are called to be God's hands in the world.

We answer this call by ...
seeking a deeper faith and a closer connection with God;
seeking out and responding to people's needs;
striving to earn trust through integrity of word and action;
holding sacred and respecting the dignity of every person;
being responsible stewards of persons, materials possessions and the Earth;
journeying together as a community of God's children; and
being in loving relationship with God and others.
