This weekend our parish family is featuring the Witness Pillar of our community. The witness aspect of a parish community involves living out and sharing the faith through words, actions, and lifestyle. Parishioners bear witness to Christ by demonstrating love, justice, and compassion in their daily lives.
This includes evangelization, teaching the faith, and engaging in the faith formation/catechetical efforts in the parish. Through personal testimony, outreach programs, and active participation in the Church’s mission, the parish community becomes a visible sign of God’s presence in the world. Please check out the witness ministries at Mary, Mother of Our Savior Parish that are dedicated to strengthening our faith by sharing it with others.
