Commissions Serving Our Lady of Refuge’s Faith Community
Mission Statement: Under the protection of Our Lady of Refuge and guided by the Holy Spirit, our parish family is dedicated to the propagation and deepening of our faith, rooted in the Sacraments, Sacred Scripture and Tradition of the Catholic Church. As stewards of the Father’s gifts, we strive to reflect the love of Christ through the support of our parish and in our outreach and service to others.
