We, the people of St. Joseph’s Church, Vazhakkala, brothers and sisters in Christ,
accept as our mission:
to know our faith
to live by truth and love
to serve the needs of others
to teach by example and thereby strengthen and inspire the Parish family.
We, also, commit to passionately share the Gospel of Jesus with the community around us and to nourish our parish family through Eucharist, formation and service.

Mission Statement

We, the faithful of the St. Joseph’s Church, Vazhakkala , in communion with our Reverend Father Vicar, shepherd of the Church, proclaim to everyone the Good News that Jesus Christ is the Light of the world, who offers to all who follow Him the light of life.

Baptized into Christ Jesus and confirmed by the gift of the Holy Spirit, we desire to share this Light with all by proclaiming the Gospel of forgiveness and reconciliation to every person.

We are one in our Church’s teachings and in the variety of the gifts, services and ministries that we employ to help build up the Kingdom of God. We therefore commit ourselves to:

• worship God in spirit and truth through “prayer without ceasing,” and particularly
  through the celebration of the Eucharist and the other sacraments of the Church
• create and nourish Christian community in the domestic church of the family, in the life of our parish, and in society as a whole
• proclaim in word and deed the Good News of Jesus Christ to all persons, inviting each of our sisters and brothers in the human community to share our faith and our mission
• teach the saving message of Christ so that all believers may come to deeper understanding, conversion and personal witness to Christ
• serve all our sisters and brothers, particularly the poor and needy, by generous acts of charity and by working together with all people of good will for justice and peace.

We pray to Father, Son and Holy Spirit, through the intercession of St. Joseph, to whose care the Parish is consecrated. May the Lord of Light guide us in our earthly journey and to our heavenly home.

We, the community of St. Joseph’s Church, Vazhakkala, building on our rich heritage of Catholic faith and tradition, center ourselves in the Eucharist and honor God in proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Guided by the Holy Spirit, we seek to be the presence of Christ through our liturgical,educational and social ministries. We dedicate our time, talent and treasure to the service of all as we build the kingdom of God in our world. We commit to this mission in the name of Jesus Christ.
