In the Community

Responding to human need by loving service

As vibrant members of the Downtown Lancaster Community, we are committed to providing effective ministries that meet community needs with a special emphasis on social and racial injustices.

Five Marks of Mission

• To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
• To teach, baptize and nurture new believers
• To respond to human need by loving service
• To seek to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and to pursue peace and reconciliation
•  To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth

Our Passions

• Serving the poor and advocating for their needs
• Nurturing and developing relationships with children and advocating for their needs
• Challenging injustice in its many forms

We live out the marks of mission by engaging in projects that are local in scope, sustainable in the use of parish and personal resources, and that are transformational in their impact.
