Mission Statement
Mary Queen of the Rosary Parish is a community of Catholic Christians united by a call to live and spread the gospel of Jesus. We believe this calls us to be a caring, comforting, and welcoming community, engaged in service to others, sharing our faith and giving thanks to God.
Our mission statement provides the “big picture” of why we exist and what we stand  for as a parish community.  To ensure that we put our vision into practice, a pastoral plan that identifies what we want to do (GOALS), how we get it done (OBJECTIVES), short-term actions (ACTION STEPS), and how we measure ourselves (ACCOUNTABILITY) is vital.

Our mission statement provides the “big picture” of why we exist and what we stand for as a parish community.  To ensure that we put our vision into practice,  the participation of each member of Mary Queen is needed in helping the Parish Pastoral Council  to create a pastoral plan that identifies what we want to do (GOALS), how we get it done (OBJECTIVES), short-term actions (ACTION STEPS), and how we measure ourselves (ACCOUNTABILITY).   Your input of felt needs is important as the Parish Pastoral Council begins studying, reflecting and recommending priorities for 2016-2021 to our pastor, Fr. Dan Noll.
