St John Vianney's Catholic Parish

Our Mission

We follow the words of our patron, St John Vianney, who said "He is here".

We recognize Christ is in the Word, the Eucharist, and in us, His people with a special reverence for Him in the poor and marginalized.

We are called to make Christ present through our prayer and charity.

We seek to grow in our spiritual lives and create a community where everyone is welcome; the young and old, together to experience the loving presence of God.

We believe He is here amongst us and we joyfully go out to make Him present to all.
