 Mission
Statement
Understanding
our baptismal commitment and celebrating our life in Christ
through the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist, we joyfully
accept the call to be a sign of God's universal love for all
creation in the township of West Milford, New Jersey.
Together we
continually strive to serve the varied needs of our parish and
the larger community, with a special concern for the unwelcomed
and alienated.
We wish to
fulfill our mission through sharing our experience of God's love
as revealed in Jesus Christ.
Prayer
of Our Lady Queen of Peace
|
O
God, Creator of days and nights,
You called
a simple woman of Nazareth
to bear the greatest gift of all:
Jesus,
thus making her the Mother of Peace.
May every person and activity
in this parish, like Mary,
bear the presence of Christ,
bring Him to birth,
and nurture His peace.
To
God,
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
be given all praise and glory
now and forever.
Amen
