Mission Statement of St. Francis

 

We, the people of St. Francis Parish, young and old, from different
nationalities and occupations, recall our Franciscan heritage and continued dedication to Catholic education.  We are a Roman Catholic Community in rural Platte County, sharing and practicing our faith.

By baptism, we are initiated into Christ, enriched by the Word of God, and through the Eucharist we are strengthened to love and serve others with love, compassion, and justice.

In union with the Pope and our bishop we are part of the one, holy,
catholic, apostolic Church of Jesus Christ, and we are confirmed by the Holy Spirit.

As members of the parish, with our pastor, we take responsibility for the spiritual, formational, and financial needs of our parish.  Through our faith and love of the gospel, we seek and strive to create an environment that will invite others to share faith with us until we all attain the fullness of the Kingdom.
