Vision 2025

Our Vision, our Mission, our Reason for Existence.

​When I arrived at St. Francis of Assisi, the parish was burdened with an enormous mortgage debt that held us back from fulfilling our true reason for existence – making disciples for Christ. With the help of God, through hard work and the generosity of our parishioners, we paid off that debt in only two and a half years, but then came the question, what’s next?

​Vision 2025 seeks to answer that question as we move beyond the mortgage. Since then, we have made great strides in fulfilling our Vision, our Mission, our Reason for Existence.

​I invite you to review our Vision 2025 and join us as we grow together, making disciples for Christ.
          -Fr. Jose Thomas Mudakodiyil
