HOPE Mission Statement
The mission of the HOPE Program is to serve our senior parishioners by helping with as many of the more demanding tasks and trials of their lives as possible. As volunteers, we are directed by scriptural and traditional mandates of the Roman Catholic Church to selflessly serve others in the name of Jesus. We accomplish this on physical, emotional and spiritual levels by providing needed services to our senior citizens.
