St. Martin of Tours Parish Strategic Plan

December 6, 2009

Core Values:

  • Christ-Centered ~~ Our Identity is based on our Savior Jesus Christ – His cross, resurrection, teachings, and example. We must imitate Christ in all of our decisions and actions.
  • Unity ~~ We are a unified faith community that is loving and inclusive. We must be forthright and compassionate in all that we do.
  • Reverence ~~ Our Catholic faith is sacred and a precious gift from God. Our actions must demonstrate a deep devotion to God and our faith.
  • Tradition ~~ The Church teaches universal Truth revealed by God. We must remain faithful to our heritage, and enthusiastically share our faith.
  • Stewardship ~~ We are blessed with many gifts from God. We must be responsible and generous in sharing the gifts with which we have been entrusted (time, talent, and treasure).

Purpose: To bring all people into closer communion with God by responding to their spiritual and temporal needs, instilling sacred faith and Traditions, and being a beacon of light that Christ may be better known to all.

Vision: As a welcoming, growing community, St. Martin of Tours Parish inspires people to develop a deep and lasting relationship with God through the sacraments, education, and service to others.

We are a community-oriented parish family that is:

  • Deeply committed to our faith. Our programs and activities are continually focused on bringing the richness of the Catholic faith to all.
  • Highly engaged. The majority of our parishioners are involved beyond attending weekly Mass – everyone is active.
  • Dedicated to service. Our outreach extends beyond the boundaries of the parish and into our community.
  • Continually learning. We recognize and support the need for people of all ages to grow and develop in their faith.
  • Focused on the future. We are continually building a legacy to be carried forward by future generations.
