Beta Session 1: Life Everlasting

Chicago, Illinois

The fundamental purpose of the St. Josaphat Parish is the cultivation and promotion of the catholic faith through the core values of catholic education, service to the surrounding community and spiritual stewardship. We, the parishioners of St. Josaphat Parish, are a welcoming community of believers who are called to cultivate faith-based families, educate future Catholic leaders, serve others as Jesus taught, and share our many blessings with those around us. Through the example set by St. Josaphat who struggled to maintain unity in a fractured time, we aim to look beyond the physical walls of our parish to the surrounding neighborhood and beyond to educate and serve those who are most in need. The spirit of faith, community, service and hospitality defines our parish. We are called to be owners of our parish community through our involvement in all aspects in parish life. As owners we encourage one another to care for and better the direction of our ministries, services and finances. We encourage parishioners to ask themselves: Am I taking ownership for your parish experience? Am I caring for its well-being? Am I seeking opportunities to leave the parish better than when I arrived? One of our greatest strengths is the robust spiritual preparation of the St. Josaphat School and Catholic Youth Education programs. We hope to extend that same enthusiasm for religious understanding to the entire parish by being examples to one another of Christ's teaching. We are eager to succeed in our role of developing the catholic leadership abilities of our parishioners wherever they are on their faith journey.
