Church of St. Denis

MISSION STATEMENT

We the people of St. Denis Parish, recognize our call to grow as a faith community. Accepting the privilege and challenge of this call:

  • We celebrate our life of faith through parish liturgy with full participation of the laity;

  • We endeavor to respond, in a Christ-like way, to the needs of all by living the message of the Gospel through a variety of outreach programs;

  • We teach the message of the Gospel throughout life's stages of childhood, adolescence, young adulthood and maturity;

  • We pray for God's guidance and strength as we progress on our journey of faith.


When you hold a banquet,
invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.
For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.
