JSM Mission-Faith Statement   

      Help create a Catholic Community that welcomes all God’s People, provides for & challenges spiritual & total growth 

      Reaches out to help people who are disadvantaged & make the world we live in a better place to live.

Isaiah 55:  I will renew with you the everlasting covenant, the benefits assured to David.
Romans 8:   What will separate us from the love of Christ?   Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?   No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us.
Matthew 43:  But they said to him, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.”  Then he said, “Bring them here to me,” and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass.  Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.  They all ate and were satisfied,

Celebration is the proof that we have come to distinguish the act of breathing from the gift of being alive. Somewhere it is written, “When life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate. And when life is bitter, say thank you and grow.”
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
