About JPII AFC

Mission Statement

The Catholic faithful of the Blessed John Paul II Area Faith Community are called to share in Christ’s priestly, prophetic, and kingly ministries.

Formed by the Eucharist and prayer we become heralds of the truth of Jesus Christ, and through our faithful service we transform the face of the earth.

Statement of Philosophy

We share in Christ’s priestly ministry through prayer, worship, and celebration of thesacraments, finding its clearest expression in the Holy Eucharist. Our active and conscious participation in the life of the Church conform us to the image of Christ.

Our share in Christ’s prophetic ministry invites others to know and love God, to understand the treasures of our faith and to witness them as faithful disciples. Our dedication to the prophetic ministries of Jesus take concrete form in a commitment to catholic schools, religious education of our young people, and opportunities for people of all ages to grow in their understanding of the mysteries of faith.

We share in Christ’s kingly ministries through dedication to selfless service in his name. Charity, sacrifice, and self-discipline guide us in the paths of holiness andjustice and unite us in the sacrifice of Christ.
