Mission: To be inviting and welcoming to all.

Prayer: We ask that Jesus be with us as we continue to build a welcoming atmosphere for Christ The Redeemer Parish, which will focus on being friendly, caring, warm and hospitable. Grant that our tables at home may draw our neighbors into a loving community and that the Eucharistic table in our parish may prefigure that banquet in heaven where all are one with you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever, Amen.
