A Healthy Community in the
Neighborhoods of Northwest Rockford

Communities can suffer a steady, almost unnoticed decline and deterioration over long periods of time. Because of the long and gradual nature of the decline it often becomes a surprise or a crisis of the moment when the decline is finally recognized!

A parish, as a reflection of its “community” -its neighborhood- and the community it serves does not need to suffer from a steady decline; however it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy through neglect.

A parish exists not for itself, but for the mission of Christ.  We are the Body of Christ, and as such we are individually and collectively as a parish called to serve one another in our parish community, as well as all around us in our broader community.
