That we shall foster prayer in the parish not just petitionary prayer but an orientation of our whole body, mind and spirit to God .

That we shall foster meaningful community where people are known and loved , called by name and supported in their call to holiness. That we shall be enabled to build relationships of trust and of caring where everyone feels loved, welcomed, forgiven and encouraged.
