Mission
Statement
"The members of
Saints Peter and Paul parish are part of the one, holy,
catholic and apostolic
Church founded by
Jesus Christ
for the salvation of the world. We are a community of believers
united in the Christian faith with Peter's successor, the
Bishop of Rome,
and all those in communion with him including our bishop, the Bishop
of Joliet. As such, the mission of our parish, like the mission of
every Catholic parish,
is to help people grow in holiness by living lives that reflect the
love of the Most
Holy Trinity. We do this by studying and proclaiming the
Word of God,
and by celebrating the
Sacraments of the Church, including, preeminently, the
Eucharist in which Christ feeds the faithful with His very
Body and Blood. By following the call of the
Holy Spirit, by imitating Jesus Christ and seeking to do the
Father's will, we share the truth of the Gospel with others by our
testimony and example. Through acts of charity and
social justice
we seek to build a culture of life in the world today as we long for
the
Kingdom of God in the world to come."
