Vision Mission Statement
As members of the Catholic Faith Community of Most Holy Trinity Parish, Tucson, Arizona we proclaim the Vision of all our Ministry to be Christ’s Great Commandment of Love
“Which commandment is the first of all?” Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one, you shall love the Lord God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these. (Mark 12: 29-31
Moved by the command found in our Vision Statement, we wholeheartedly accept as our Mission, the Mission Jesus accepted as his own:
“The spirit of the Lord is upon me; therefore he has anointed me. He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives, recovery of sight to the blind, and release to prisoners.” (Luke 4: 18)
Therefore we pledge:
To be a gathering place marked by openness, actively welcoming and inviting others to join us in the work of building God’s Kingdom
To be a vibrant inclusive community committed to holding as our highest value the dignity and growth of all people, reaching across boundaries including religion, politics, race, age, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, sexual orientation and disabling conditions.
To have full and active participation in communal worship which is alive with a passion that inspires and challenges us to grow in understanding of the Word of God and our responsibilities in building God’s Kingdom
To Evangelize by all ways and means to reach out and spread the Good News of Jesus to the alienated, the un- churched, to all those searching for God and to both inactive and active Catholics that all may deepen their personal conversion.
To affirm our many blessings, and to challenge ourselves and one another to be good stewards of our gifts by sharing our time, our talent, and our personal and communal resources in achieving the Church’s mission.
To educate the parish about church and community needs and to provide a full accounting of how our financial support meets these needs.
To offer on-going faith formation for all ages and to provide the necessary resources and personnel.
To live justly according to the norms of Catholic Social Teaching, working to eradicate the root causes of injustice, meet the needs of the poor and marginalized, and to promote racial and ethnic harmony, peacemaking, non-violence and respect for all stages of life.
