Our Mission, Vision and Goals were developed in consultation with the parish and published in April 2018 as a "Parish Profile" - and can be downloaded here.
Our parish Goals were further updated in 2021 through a process lead by a "Parish Renewal Task Force" and finally approved by Vestry in November 2021. For information on the renewal task force and its recommendations, click here.
