Mission Statement
of St. Patrick's Parish
Mt. Sterling, Kentucky

We, the people of St. Patrick's Church,
are the Catholic faith community of Montgomery County.
We, the body of Christ, are each uniquely gifted by God
and called by Jesus to discipleship.
Though few in number, we strive
to become leaders and examples of our faith.

Our faith calls us to assemble
to be nourished by God's Word and sacrament
and to celebrate the mysteries of God's revelation, especially on Sunday.
We are called by the Holy Spirit to continual self-growth
through breaking open the Word, education, prayer, and service.
We use this growth to nurture the seeds of faith in our children.

We respect all God's creation, especially God's gift of life,
and feel a strong sense of responsibility
to serve the poor and unchurched in Montgomery County.

We conduct our lives in a manner
that will praise and glorify God.
As a sign of Christ in the world,
we work to build the Kingdom of God.
