PARISH MISSION

We Believe:    That as parishioners of Holy Name of Jesus Parish we are called by God to be a caring community dedicated to prayer, praise and the worship of God and the service of others, especially those in the most need.

We accept the responsibility in providing a community of prayer, teaching and spiritual guidance.

We Give:    God permission to work in us through the power of the Holy Spirit to reveal the will of the Father for each of us and make us one in the name of Jesus our crucified and risen Saviour.
