Mission Statement
We, the Catholic family of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, are people of faith, rich in heritage and prayer. As a parish family, we are witnesses to God's love in our community, committed to living and sharing the discipleship of Jesus. This is accomplished through Eucharistic celebration, social justice, the sharing of our gifts and by being a source of hope. We serve one another by living the Gospel. We celebrate our sense of family through liturgy, ministry and family-based education. We evangelize in our homes, our neighborhoods and our work places. We welcome those in need.

On this great Solemnity, we hear the call given to all of us to “proclaim the Gospel to every creature.” We are called and empowered by the grace of the sacraments to speak Good News and be Good News to others. If we do so, we can drive out the demons of division, apathy, racism, despair and violence with our new language of love, commitment, community, hope and peace. Armed with God’s justice and mercy, we will give witness to human life and dignity, to care for the poor and for creation and to solidarity with all across the globe so that the sickness of our fractured world can be healed.
